Caravan Hire in Bloemfontein
Bloem sits smack in the middle of the country, which makes it a surprisingly good starting point for a camper trip in any direction. Golden Gate is about 2.5 hours east, Clarens just beyond that, the Gariep Dam 3 hours south, and the Drakensberg reachable from the east. The Free State roads are wide, flat, and practically empty compared to Gauteng, proper relaxed caravan travel.

About Bloemfontein
Golden Gate (240km east, 2.5 hours) is the Free State's star, orange sandstone cliffs, good hiking, and Clarens is just 15km further for coffee and craft beer. The Gariep Dam (180km south) is the country's biggest dam with a resort and water sports. Even in town, Naval Hill has white rhino and giraffe. N1 north to Joburg is 400km (4 hours). N1 south takes you through the Karoo toward Cape Town (1,000km).
