Then on to Oudtshoorn, known as the ‘Feather Capital of the World’ thanks to its huge ostrich industry. After a fascinating tour of an ostrich farm, we go underground to marvel at the icy formations in the Cango Caves, regarded, for good reason, as one of South Africa’s most spectacular natural wond-
ers. We overnight in an Oudtshoorn hotel.

paradise, before arriving back at Knysna.

Enjoy a cruise on the vast Knysna Lagoon and visit the Featherbed Nature Reserve. Enjoy an amazing view of the imposing sand-
stone ‘Heads’ which guard the sea’s entrance to Knysna’s huge tidal lagoon, and the forests, marshes and pristine beaches surrounding it. After lunch the remainder of the day is at leisure
to enjoy this lovely and special town.
