Golden Gate Highlands National Park

Golden Gate Highlands National Park is located in the northeast of South Africa at the foot of the Maluti mountain range.

The park received its name - "Golden Gate" thanks to the tops of the rocks, which glow with gold at sunset, as soon as the sun's rays of the setting sun touch them.

The reserve occupies almost 12 thousand hectares. It is a habitat for many rare animals - black wildebeest, gazelles, Berchel zebras, and birds - a bearded, bald ibis.

The Golden Gate Highlands was taken under state protection in 1963, largely because of the magical golden light of the mountains. From the highest point of the park, Ribbokkop Mountains at sunset offers a beautiful panorama of the nature of the reserve.
