Bloemfontein Vacations

Overview

Take a trip to Bloemfontein on your South Africa vacation.

Bloemfontein, known locally as Bloem, serves as the judicial capital of South Africa and the capital of the Free State province. It proudly holds the distinction of being the birthplace of J.R.R. Tolkien, the author behind The Lord of the Rings. Truly magical, Bloemfontein’s relaxed atmosphere invites those seeking a peaceful escape from the fast pace of life. As a family-oriented city, Bloemfontein has no shortage of experiences suitable for all ages, including many historical buildings and the National Museum, food and art markets, water parks, botanical gardens, and the annual Mangaung Rose Festival showcasing the largest selection of roses from the Free State.
