Why go

Outside Bloemfontein, grassland and woodland spread between dolerite koppies. The indigenous gardens and short trails make the area’s plant life approachable without committing to a long excursion. The koppies provide a distinctive setting for the plants, giving this Bloemfontein outing a stronger sense of place than a generic city garden.
