in the quiet beauty of nature.

OUTDOOR
ADVENTURE

discover de krantz

Exchange the city lights for starry nights, your office ceiling for open sunny skies, your conference calls for campfire stories, and your caffeine fix for nature’s fresh vitality tonic.

De Krantz Wildlife Reserve – situated on the R26, between Ladybrand and Hobhouse in the Eastern Free State, a region known for its majestic beauty, simplicity, and serenity.  This rugged and mountainous Wildlife Reserve, different to the Free State’s image of endless maize fields, is merely a four hours drive from Johannesburg, and as little as an hour’s drive from Bloemfontein, perfect for those much-needed weekend getaways.
