Clarens- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Clarens is a town in South Africa's Free State province, set at the base of the Maluti Mountains and established in 1912. Named after the Swiss village where Paul Kruger spent his final years, Clarens is known for its surrounding sandstone cliffs, art galleries, and diverse outdoor activities ranging from hiking and fly-fishing to fossil exploration. The nearby Golden Gate Highlands National Park and the discovery of Jurassic dinosaur fossils highlight both its geological significance and palaeontological interest.
