Near Bethlehem lie the Maluti Mountains with sandstone cliffs that shine golden in the sun, and here you will find Golden Gate Highlands National Park. Just a few hours drive from Johannesburg and you can be in the midst of calm.
These are grassland plains with rugged rock mountains. You can find some special animals here according to the SANParks website and the drive through from Bethlehem to Harrismith will give you much to enjoy.
