Getting Started with Geocaching

Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a Geocache in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the Geocache's existence and location online via the Internet. Anyone with a GPS device can then try to locate the Geocache.

There are more than 100 geocaches in the Bloemfontein city area.
