Description:
The Free State Province boasts a number of nature reserves and resorts. Some are
owned by the provincial government and others by the various municipalities. The
Department of Economic, Small Business Development, Tourism and Environmental
Affairs (DESTEA) is the custodian of the provincial reserves and resorts. These
resorts and reserves play an important role in so far as tourism activities in the Free
State Province are concerned; whether in the form of hiking trail, game drive, viewing
wildlife or accommodation through chalets and camping.
