DID YOU KNOW?
It’s all about the thrill of the cache at the eastern Free State farm of Beatrix, which offers hiking and mountain biking adventures.
For those who prefer a more straightforward trail, there is the well-marked, fairly challenging 9km Mosamane Hiking Trail, which leads you through the grasslands, where secretary birds note your passing, into the crimson and gold sandstone cliffs with their fantastical sculptural formations.
There are ladders and chains to help you negotiate the steep mountain section of the hike, which passes ancient caves called ‘Owl’s Eyes’, so-named because of their appearance. If you enjoy mountain biking, there’s also a tough but scenic 16km route that takes you through a different part of the farm to the hiking trail.
And if none of the above appeal to you, simply sit under a tree and soak in the landscape, which is home to a great variety of creatures, including the Mosamane, a ground squirrel named in the local Sotho language – and you’ll see plenty of these.
