Oudtshoorn Information

The largest living bird on earth is synonymous with the history of Oudtshoorn.

Ostriches made the town famous, made people rich, made history here. The legends of the ostrich barons are alive and invite you to come and experience a bit of what their world was like.

Of course, it is today arguably most well known for the annual Afrikaans music festival, which attracts very large amounts of tourists from far and wide and ensures a major boost for the economy.

It also boasts a very large wine industry, and for wine lovers the long trip is worthwhile just to enjoy the taste of some of the best wines you will ever drink!
