OUDTSHOORN FULL DAY PRIVATE TOUR
INCLUDES: SCENIC LAKE AREA & KLEIN KAROO DRIVE, CANGO OSTRICH FARM, KARUSA WINE ESTATE & FRUIT FARM, CANGO CAVES, WILDERNESS BEACH
Our qualified guide will pick you up at your guesthouse or hotel in Knysna at 08h30 in our air conditioned minibus. It is a scenic drive along the beautiful lake areas of Sedgefield and Wilderness before we cross the mighty Outeniqua Mountains into the dry semi-desert region of the Klein Karoo.
Our first stop is at a local ostrich farm close to Oudtshoorn. We join a guided tour on the farm teaching us some interesting facts about these flightless birds. At first we visit the main yard, where we will be shown different ostrich feathers, the incubators and how they work, gizzard stones and more. We can even feed the ostriches ourselves. Afterwards we continue to the farmlands where we will be shown the anatomy of an ostrich and visit the breeding pairs’ nests.
We continue to the Karusa Wine Estate & Fruit Farm in the quaint Schoemanshoek Valley. You have the possibility to taste five of their various red and white wines including MCC sparkling wines (Méthode Cap Classique – the South African version of Champagne). If you are not into wine Karusa also has its own craft brewery on the premises producing some fine Karoo craft beers (all tastings are for own account). Afterwards we settle down at their restaurant for a hearty Karoo style lunch (lunch is for own account). On Sundays and public holidays Karusa is closed. We will do an alternative stop then.
Our last stop is the famous Cango Caves which were discovered in 1780. We join a guided heritage tour explaining the natural wonders of this finest dripstone caverns, with their vast halls and towering formations of impressive size – one chamber is up to 18m high. The heritage tour is an easy walking tour without any climbing or creeping.
Now it is time to say goodbye to the Klein Karoo as we head back over the scenic Outeniqua Pass. We touch the coast again in Wilderness with a short photo stop for the endless golden beach with some breathtaking views onto the ocean in the front and the mountains in the back. At around 17h30 our driver will drop you off again at your guesthouse or hotel in Knysna.
