Nestled in the southeastern corner of the Free State, near the border of the Eastern Cape and just 35km from Aliwal North, the quiet town of Rouxville offers a taste of rural charm blended with authentic South African adventure.
Surrounded by wide-open landscapes, rolling farmlands, and crisp Karoo air, Rouxville is the perfect escape for travellers looking to disconnect and explore the outdoors.
