Somerset East
Somerset East, at the foot of the Boschberg Mountains, is a quaint,
serene little town that is as famous for its natural beauty as it
is for its many beautiful national monuments. The forested, mountainous
backdrop creates a dramatic setting for the town (which is within
sight of no less than 16 waterfalls). This is where you'll find
the thickly wooded Boschberg Nature Reserve, with its popular hiking
trails - including a 15km circular route to an overnight hut at
the summit of the mountain.
As the Route's name suggests, Somerset East is an excellent bird-watching
destination. Other adventures include trout fishing on two local
dams, as well as malaria free safari and hunting operations. The
highly-rated 9-hole golf course is said to be one of the most beautiful
in the country. |
