The Basotho Cultural Village nestles in the east of the Golden Gate Highlands National Park surrounded by huge sandstone mountains.

"The Free State landscape gladdens my heart, no matter what my mood. When I am here I feel that nothing can shut me in, that my thoughts can roam as far as the horizons. - Former State President Nelson Mandela wrote in his autobiography Long Walk to Freedom.

It is here where Basotho Cultural Village Rest Camp nestles on the eastern side of the amalgamated Golden Gate Highlands National Park. The camp resembles an 18th century Basotho Village. The surroundings take you back from the pathway of previous times to the modern days, here the Basotho lifestyle, architectural and hospitality is the order of the day.

The Basotho Cultural Village Rest Camp offers comfortable self-catering accommodation with splendid views where game viewing is practically enjoyed without the trouble of having to embark on a game searching journey.

The Camp also has communal braai facilities that are shared amongst families sharing the kraal and also private webber braai facilities for every chalet.

Kgotso! We greet You in Peace, come stay with us, dance to our rhythm, sip from our traditional beer, consult our Ngaka (Traditional Healer) and come to Lekhotla (the gathering place for men).

The tranquil and healing cultural heritage experience awaits you, Kgotso!! Pula!! Nala!!

I have not struggled with my enquiries, and the responses have been fast. I am happy.

The establishment can be better if restoration work can be kept up to date, otherwise the establishment is good and has a good knowledge base for our next generation and must not be let to deteriorate. I would definitely visit the place again however as indicated it must get restoration work done as a matter of urgency to keep and allow for new visitors.

I recently stayed 2 nights and had a fantastic stay. The accommodation was very clean and well-supplied. Throw in some gorgeous views and scenery, and it was a great place to relax for a couple of days.
