About Oudtshoorn
Oudtshoorn is a town in the Western Cape, situated in the semi-arid Little Karoo region. It developed in the late 19th century around agriculture and became famous for ostrich feather production during a boom period. The town's economy still relies on farming, tourism and related industries, drawing people interested in its distinctive landscape.
The Cango Caves stand out as a major attraction, with their vast limestone formations stretching for miles underground. Guided tours allow exploration of chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites. Nearby, the Swartberg Mountains provide hiking trails that offer views of rugged peaks and valleys, appealing to those who enjoy physical activities in nature. Ostrich farms around the area give insights into bird behavior and farming practices, with opportunities to interact with the animals.
Wildlife experiences include visits to reserves where meerkats and other species can be observed in their habitats. The town serves as a gateway to the Garden Route, located about 50 kilometers from the coast, allowing easy access to beaches and forests. Oudtshoorn accommodation ranges from budget guesthouses to more comfortable lodges, catering to different preferences for stays. Local events and markets add to the cultural scene, with annual festivals celebrating the region's heritage.
Driving through the area reveals vast farmlands dotted with succulents and indigenous plants, highlighting the Karoo's biodiversity. Conservation efforts protect these environments, ensuring they remain viable for future generations. The climate, with hot summers and mild winters, influences the types of activities available throughout the year.
