Oudtshoorn is well-known for its ostrich breeding, honoring the label of being the ostrich capital of the world. But Oudtshoorn is more than that. Aside from dropping by the ostrich farm and learning about how these unique birds contribute to the daily life of Oudtshoorn, travelers can also indulge in more nature activities such as exploring the Tierkloof Roof or venturing into the breathtaking Gamkaskloof, also known as the “Valley of Lions”. If you are not keen on the sun and mud, you can also resort to checking out the various art galleries in Oudtshoorn, where regional and South African fine arts alongside well-made local ostrich products from local artisans can be found. If you are there in August, you might also catch a chance to enjoy classical music, cuisines, and wines during the local festivals! Check out the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Oudtshoorn, South Africa.
