Visiting Oudtshoorn provides a combination of adventure, relaxation, and cultural enrichment, making it a worthy addition to any South African itinerary.
The "Ostrich Capital of the World" title has definitely made its mark, with a wide variety of attractions incorporating ostrich feathers, eggs and even ostrich riding.
Brought together by the tantalising taste of the Klein Karoo cuisine, and the exciting activities like the Cango Caves, and encounter with wild animals in their natural habitat.
Oudtshoorn, situated in the semi-arid Klein Karoo region of South Africa, has a climate characterized by hot summers and mild winters.
Although Oudtshoorn is a year-round destination, your best bet for pleasant weather and outdoor activities would be during the spring (September - November) and autumn (March - May) months. If you prefer cooler temperatures and don't mind chillier evenings, winter can also be a great time to explore the region.
Oudtshoorn is located in the Western Cape province, South Africa. Situated in the Klein Karoo between the Swartberg and Outeniqua mountains. It's roughly 420 km (260 miles) east of Cape Town and about 55 km (35 miles) from the coastal town of George.
For most travelers, flying into George and then driving or taking a shuttle to Oudtshoorn is the most convenient option. However, driving from Cape Town or along the Garden Route allows for a more scenic journey and the opportunity to explore other attractions along the way.

Outstanding and professional performance by Pascal John
Pascal John quickly proved his professionalism as well as his in-depth and experienced knowledge of South Africa safaris. He demonstrated the ability to rapidly understand what I was looking for out of a safari trip and how to make that happen. He added real value to the process with his connections to lodging reservations at various lodges and arranged for an itinerary that is not possible to accomplish by oneself on the internet alone. For example, he was able to negotiate away for me a single supplement. He added immediate value and quickly/painlessly everything came together. This includes booking flights, ground transport, lodging and wildlife drives. I can without reservation recommend working with Pascal John at Safari.com.
