The Free State is the most central of all South Africa's provinces and is often called the "Golden Country" due to the golden sunflowers which blanket the area, the vast plantations of maize and its rich gold deposits. Bloemfontein, the province's capitol, has an array of cultural and historical attractions. For the nature lover, the eastern Free State offers spectacular landscapes. In the south is the Gariep dam, well known for fishing, water skiing and yachting. The Free State offers a unique and special experience to any traveler looking for something different.
