Today we toured around Oudtshoorn, the “ostrich capital of the world” and largest town in the Klein Karoo region of South Africa. Also our new home for two nights.

We hit the road, and were immediately stopped by a large family of baboons. After watching them slowly but safely cross the highway, we were off to the Cango Caves.

The Cango Caves are really taking the cave scene to another level. They are situated in a limestone ridge, and inside are dripstone caverns with vast halls of insane formations. The stalagmites and stalactites seem to just be showing off. 

After some good caving, we took off for the Swatberg Pass, which cuts through the Swatberg mountain range and connects the towns of Oudtshoorn and Prince Albert. The pass was everything we could’ve hoped for. It was just us, lots of mountain formations, beautiful plants and even a place to stop for PB&N’s.

Afterward, we headed back to town for a drink with a view.
