Fourth Raadsaal

Reviewed By AnnoAurora

Part of the history - Free State Province of South Africa used to be a 'republic/state' on its own with its own legislature. The Fourth Raadsaal was the last one to be built to serve Legislations etc. to the nomadic farmer communities that formed part of this State. Would sort this under the historical Boer / British War for those interested in knowing more about this long during horrid war.

Gariep Dam Wall

Reviewed By 80charmainep

It is so awesome to see old infrastructure that was so well built and still maintained with such a rich history of South Africa in the little town of Gariep. This dam wall is a must see stop over when travelling through.

Vredefort Dome

Mountains, River, Bushveld and rugged beauty draw visitors to this unique World Heritage Site. A geological treasure trove, white water rafting, Africa's wildlife, Bushveld, trillions of stars, amazing sunsets, and wonderful people. Only 90 minutes from Johannesburg but a whole different world. There are a wide variety of accommodation venues available including camping and caravan sites. Use of a registered guide is well advised for an informative tour. Heritage Site tours range from 90 minutes to full day outings.

I did a tour with Dome Impact Tours (Gustav Engelbrecht). I really enjoyed it. The tour was for the whole day and Gustav used his car so it was good value for money at R610. A lot of information was covered from history of the Anglo Boer war to the gold rush. Gustav's knowledge of the area and its geology is excellent. We even saw bushmen rock carvings. It was a wonderful day.
