Why go to Oudtshoorn?

Oudtshoorn's early fortunes, evident by some magnificent Victorian Sandstone homesteads, arose from the popularity of ostrich feathers in the era. With the downfall of this trade, the ostrich is more of a tourist attraction at present, with the popular ostrich rides and ostrich products like meat, ornamental eggs and leather goods.

Nearby are the Cango Caves. These Caves are world renowned for their beautiful stalagmites and stalactites and are a hugely popular tourist attraction, well worth a visit. Other attractions in the area include camel riding and the wildlife ranch with its cheetahs and leopards.
