More a mountain park it's great for being outdoors and hiking. If you're looking for a game safari this might not be the place for you.

Golden gates is more about the spectacular rock formations.

The scenery here was stunning - amazing geology and hiking.
Wildlife was not terribly plentiful, but we did see a few wildebeest, jackal, and zebra.
Bush vibe - not such a nice park in this regard, since a major road passes through the park.
Birding was nice but not particularly exceptional.

The scenery is beautiful, hiking in the park is great. Wildlife: Zebras, Blesboks, Wildebeest and lots of beautiful Hanestaart Wildavink birds. If you just come for the red colored mountains I advise you to go to Blyde River Canyon as this area is more spectacular.

Golden gate has beautiful mountain scenery and this is its biggest attraction. There is a hotel in the park as well as typical National Parks Camps with self catering rondavels and chalets.

Fantastic views and beautiful scenery but wildlife is limited mainly to different antelopes and zebra and baboons but a great place to stay. Tarmac roads for driving around the park and also some for 4x4s.
