Located along the renowned Route 62, which takes motorists past one awe-inspiring sight after another, Oudtshoorn is known as the Ostrich Capital of the World: these huge birds are almost as common as people in this charming town.
Other than ostriches and the wonderful feathers and meat they provide, the Oudtshoorn area also boasts the spectacular Cango Caves. They are the largest show cave system in Africa, permeated with sparkling stalactites and stalagmites and captivating rock formations.
If you like hiking and nature, then take a drive up to the Swartberg Pass. Game drives, zipp lining and other kids activities are also in the area.
