I ♥ Oudtshoorn

I ♥ Oudtshoorn

Hi, We are Phil & Linda Putzel from The Gumtree Guest House in Oudtshoorn.

Oudtshoorn IS BEST KNOWN FOR the world fam­ous Cango Caves and being the Ostrich-Capital of the world!

GET YOUR PICTURE TAKEN AT an Ostrich Showfarm rid­ing an Ostrich (or feed­ing an Ostrich). The best farms to visit are Highgate, Safari and Cango.

THE BEST scenic PICTURES CAN BE TAKEN from Swartberg Pass which has mag­ni­fi­cent views of the sur­round­ing moun­tains and incred­ible road.

Cango Caves

The KhoiSan used the Cango Caves thou­sands of years ago as shel­ter but nobody else real­ized the beauty under the lime­stone ledge until the curi­os­ity of a farmer in 1780 made him lower him­self into the caves to invest­ig­ate. For the first time his dim torch showed an awe­some splend­our that still takes the breath away today as count­less people make the pil­grim­age to the caves each year.

The Cango Caves can be found about 26 kilo­metres north of the town of Oudtshoorn, which lies in the heart of the Little Karoo. In the last cen­tury the caves have become world renowned not only with South Africans but with inter­na­tional tour­ists as well, who visit the Cango Caves in droves. Giggling groups of school chil­dren visit the caves as part of their cur­riculum and dare each other to go through the Devil’s Chimney, a rather tight pas­sage in the caves and to be pos­ted down the Devil’s Post box that is only 27 cen­ti­metres wide.
