Location

Fittingly referred to as the "Jewel of the Eastern Free State", the small town of Clarens lies comfortably between the high sandstone cliffs of the historically-rich Rooiberg mountain range encompassing the village, and the foothills of the Maloti mountains with their rolling hills, jagged mountainsides and towering peaks. Regarded as one of the most picturesque spots in South Africa where wide horizons meet clear blue skies, idyllic Clarens is situated in close proximity to the Golden Gate National Park with its golden, ochre, and orange-hued, deeply eroded sandstone cliffs and outcrops – the most notable being the Brandwag buttress, and the mountainous Kingdom of Lesotho – home to one of southern Africa’s premier ski resorts.

Whether you’re racing through rugged terrain on a quad bike, exploring the landscape on horseback, or feeling the rush of abseiling and zip-lining, there’s excitement around every corner. Enjoy bungee trampolining, wall climbing, and cooling off with a refreshing swim in natural rock pools. Experience the most breathtaking, exhilarating and scenic hot air ballooning in South Africa. For golfing enthusiasts, the Clarens Golf Estate is challenging, fair and extremely rewarding. With such a variety of heart-pumping adventures, Clarens offers the perfect playground for anyone looking to embrace the great outdoors in an unforgettable way.
