Ficksburg - Discover your soul
“When I am here I feel that nothing can shut me in, that my thoughts can roam as far as the horizons” Nelson Mandela, on the Free State.

Situated in the scenic panorama of the Eastern Free State, Ficksburg nestles at the foot of the Imperani Mountain and on the banks of the Caledon River, the border with Lesotho. The magnificent views of the majestic Malutis, Ficksburg's backdrop, changes with the seasons, from the purple haze of summer to the snow clad slopes of winter.

The district is renowned for the breathtaking sandstone formations of the mountains and many of the historic buildings in and around the town are built of sandstone. Ficksburg is at the heart of the cherry growing district and the annual November Cherry Festival is the oldest crop festival in South Africa. The area is also famous for growing asparagus.

The Ficksburg area is a wonderful holiday destination, not just for its stunning beauty but for the range of sports and activities available. There are hikes for all types of walker, horse riding, polo, steam trains, bird watching, game viewing, boating and much else besides. Trips across the border to see the Katse dam are easily arranged.
