About Bloemfontein

Bloemfontein is one of the three national capitals of South Africa. The other two are the legislative capital of Cape Town and the administrative capital of Pretoria. Bloemfontein is the judicial capital, which is also the capital city of the Free State Province. The name mostly translates in connection with flora and fauna. In Dutch, Bloemfontein means “fountain of flowers”. In Sesotho, the city’s name means “place of cheetahs”. Regardless of its value as the national capital for the judiciary and its name translations, you cannot discount the fact that traveling to this picturesque destination is a must for South African travelers.
