Nestled in the foothills of the Maluti mountains lies the Golden Gate National Park, which derives its name from the golden tones the sun casts on the towering sandstone cliffs. This 11 600 hectares of unique landscape is home to a large variety of mammals. Close to Bethlehem you can find the Cam-o-rhi Wildlife Ranch, famous for the Pretoriuskloof Bird Sanctuary and the white lion breeding programme. |
