If you love an active holiday, then the area surrounding Oudtshoorn and Buffelsdrift Game Reserve is perfect for you. Here’s our guide to favourite activities in the Klein Karoo area you just can't miss.
Oudtshoorn isn’t called the ostrich capital for nothing! There’s tons of ostrich based activities open to you in the area. Why not head out to the Cango Ostrich Farm and have an entertaining day learning the unique world of an ostrich farm? There’s also Safari Ostritch Show Farm for you to visit nearby, too.
You can’t make a trip to the Oudtshoorn area without stopping at the Cango Caves. Right at the head of the gorgeous Cango Valley, this spectacular limestone cave formation sprawls under the Swartberg Mountains, offering magnificent dripstone formations for you to enjoy.
As part of Buffelsdrift Game Reserve’s ongoing work with elephant conservation, there are 3 human habituated elephants living on the reserve. Bulelo, Malaika and Jabari are all rescued orphans, unsuitable for full release into the wild, and so they instead lead happy lives on the reserve. Watch them being fed and cared for by reserve staff, and meet these gentle giants yourself too.
Gamkaskloof valley, near Prince Albert, is where a proud and strong farming community lived in near isolation for over a century. Only carrying their dried fruit and honey our along precarious roads by pack animal, the area is a fascinating glimpse into the history of South Africa and her farmers.
It often surprises visitors that the dry soils of the Klein Karoo can produce spectacular wines, but the area is in fact almost as well known for wines as the Cape! Karusa Vineyard nestles close to the reserve, in the tranquil village of Schoemanshoek. Sample their Mediterranean-styled wines, and be sure to try the Cap Classique too! Karusa is a family-operated vineyard.
