Start Planning
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.

Heleen was great
Heleen was meticulous with our requirements and recomendations. We changed a number of times so it was a bit awkward but nothing too much for her. Its not easy booking from abroad but we received all the information we needed and actual booking and payment was simple

Outstanding Experience! (Cape Town, Sabi Sands, Vic Falls)
After attempting to book this trip myself (a couple coming from the US), I gave up and reached out to Sara from Safari.com. I told Sara what I was thinking and by the next day she had created several wonderful itineraries! Based on her suggestions, we personalized the itineraries and within 7 days I was booked and all set!! Sara was available at all times (before, during, and after the trip). We are currently heading home and we are so happy with all the bookings Sara created for us! Everything went flawlessly. Her 3rd parties for tours and transfers were perfect (always early, professional, knowledgeable, and kind). The hotel acknowledged our anniversary thanks to Sara. We stayed at the Victoria & Alfred hotel in Cape Town, then off to Dulini Moya in Sabi Sands, and finally Victoria Falls Island Treehouse in Zimbabwe. I highly recommend all of them. Tell Sara what you envision your experience to be and your budget and she will make it happen!! Her knowledge was so helpful in assisting us to choose the perfect itinerary. It was comforting that she kept in touch while we were traveling throughout Africa. I feel so lucky to have had Sara arrange this trip and will certainly request her expertise again in the future!! You won’t have to worry about anything because she is on top of it all. Do not hesitate!! Book with Sara from Safari.com!
