Parks & Nature
Explore an Ancient Temple - home to giant Flying Foxes, dazzling birdlife, diminutive antelope and thousands of sparkling Cichlids! Creep past designer hogs, malevolent vultures and playful Lemurs. Then crossover a swing-bridge precariously dangling inches above giant four meter crocodiles who leap for their dinner… and if you’re brave enough you can even dive with them in our WORLD FIRST CROCODILE CAGE-DIVE EXPERIENCE!
Walk above the most magnificent of the world's big cats: white lions, African leopards, white snow tigers and of course our prized cheetah. You can even get to meet them face-to-face in a heart-warming close encounter!

Entertainment & Activities
When your children get bored, there’s no better place to take them than Wilgewandel Holiday Farm – a pretty little adventure park next door to the Cango Caves. Here they can go bananas in the play park (complete with trampolines and a rope slide), or go on a camel ride, a donkey cart ride or a bumper boat ride.
There are farm animals to feed. A fully licensed restaurant allows parents to fill up while their the little ones go wild in the safe and charming rural setting.

Sightseeing
Accompanied by a guide, you can venture into its giant ’concert hall’ where the acoustical conditions make even horrible voices sound really rather nice. For the more daring, an adventure tour takes you through a set of twisting tunnels and curvy cavities, often on hands and knees and sometimes on your belly. People of ample proportions might want to opt for the standard tour instead.

Oudtshoorn is steeped in history; very odd history, but history nonetheless; and most off it related to the ostrich. Oudtshoorn is ‘The Ostrich capital of the World’ and there are many ostrich show farms around it where a visitor can meet and even hug adorable ostrich chicks.
You can learn how to make a feather duster; you get the chance to stand on some ostrich eggs (to prove how strong they are) and if you are small you might even be allowed to ride one. Then, after the tour; you can visit the on-site restaurant and stuff yourself silly with the meat from the silly long-legged birds.The tours last from 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours.
