Zorgfontein Game Farm

A once in a life time experience. Walk alongside Africa's most majestic predator. The "walking with lions" encounter is an opportunity to interact with young lions. The walks take approximately one hour to complete - depending on how fast the lions are prepared to amble - and a maximum of eight - ten guests can be hosted on each excursion.No leashes, No Collars, just a natural African Adventure.

Reviewed By Alison S - Godalming, United Kingdom

Having seen lions from the safety of a jeep, getting to walk with (well behind really) them was unmissable. It was a lovely experience to be able to stroll along behind them and ask questions of the knowledgeable guide. The lions seemed well trained - they knew where to stop for photo opportunities. And boy did we get some photos. The guide took loads of them for each of us on our phones so we had plenty to show our amazed friends back home. There were five of us in our group, walking with two lions, one guide and three handlers. We felt safe at all times. A must do it you are in the area.

St. Blaize Trail

Reviewed By C_Avelar - Sao Jose Dos Campos, SP

The place offers outstanding views! Depending on the trail you take, it can be tiring. Also, in the morning, the ants in the way are annoying! Even after used insect repellent, the get you. In the afternoon, when we came back, we did not see them.

Hartenbos Water Park

Reviewed By tsareviews - Libreville, Gabon

Had a great time on the water slide while my daughter played on the mamothly big jungle gym close by. The water was reasonably warmer and the slide slippery as usual. Great place to spend the afternoon with loved ones. Loved the Seating areas and the put put course. Toilets and dressing facilities are a huge bonus.

Janine Iron and Washing Museum

The museum consists of more then 640 laundry irons, mostly rare and some only existing examples left. Also more then 50 rare washing machines and mangles dated back from the 1800, some are claimed to be of the only remaining in the world. The museum are packed with other rare antique laundry related items. Some non-laundry related items are also included.

Reviewed By MOYENI - JHB

This museum, housed on the property of a bona fide laundry business, is an outstanding private collection of much merit. It has been lovingly amassed by genuine collectors who now provide access to their treasures for a nominal fee. I don't think there is anything quite like it elsewhere. What a joyous find.

ATKV’s Hartenbos Museum

Reviewed By Jilldutoit - Port Elizabeth, South Africa

This is a fascinating collection of items from the time of the Great Trek through to the centenary celebrations of the event in 1938. My husband's grandfather was one of the centenary celebration's organisers, who participated in the re-enactment of the original trek. This period of history has been well documented and displayed. The exhibits have been well looked after , the stone floors gleamingly clean!
At R5.00 per person entry fee, their running costs can hardly be covered, so donations are suggested but one trusts that this collection will still be able to be appreciated by generations to come.

We enjoyed visiting The Redberry Farm. Which is set in the delightful countryside outside of George. They have lots of special things for children to enjoy. Train ride for children and grown ups, picking a basket of strawberries. We enjoyed the strawberry shakkr and the freshly baked scones with strawberry jam and cream were excellent. Great
