Oudtshoorn

Today it was up early to get our drive on the way as we headed from Plettenberg Bay back to Oudtshoorn. We popped into our favourite cafe 11 on the way to get our coffee and muffin combo before making tracks. We had an Ostrich safari booked for 10am which we missed from the roadworks and traffic on the way.
Piling into the back of a tractor drawn carriage with a bucket of feed, we went through the enclosures. The ostriches were huge, with some reaching 2.7m in height. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable in all ostrich content! The large birds were slightly intimidating to feed, but we got the hang of it soon enough.
From there, it was to Spurs for a hearty lunch before we entered the Cango Caves. These were huge caverns that went over 5km deep into the mountains. Lennox was a little scared at first but warmed up to the experience quickly. The caverns were stunning and well lit and maintained with the only downside being our guide who leant too heavy on the race and weight jokes.. checking into our cottage for the night, we tuckered into some Mi Goreng for dinner before tucking in.Read more
