SUNflowers-COME follow the SUN.

22.5 Million. That's the number of Sunflowers smiling at Spitskop today.!!
When the rains finally came in early 2018, farmers needed a short season fast growing crop, SUNFLOWERS, millions of plants, this may not EVER happen quite like this again - you will never forget it !
We would love to share this experience with you, this one moment in time when this kind of spectacle of golden beauty surrounds us.
This miracle of colour lasts for just a few short weeks - so don’t delay, book soon.
Summer is almost at an end, and in the Eastern Free State Highlands our farmers everywhere have prepared a final tribute and our landscape has been transformed into a patchwork of green and golden yellow, thanks to millions and millions and millions of Sunflowers which have produced a spectacle that is truly breathtaking.
Standing tall and proud, giant heads nodding gently in the breeze, they follow the sun to produce what almost seems to be a moving, brilliant, yellow ocean.
We here at Amohela ho Spitskop are an awesomely beautiful oasis of golden colour, for all around us are farm-lands filled to the brim with dinner plate sized golden yellow magic.
A photographer or an artist or just a lover of beauty NOW is the time to come and take in this vision, with clear skies, mild days and cool nights, awesome scenery as a backdrop to your stay at Amohela ho Spitskop.
