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 wonders. We overnight in an Oudtshoorn hotel.

Accommodation: Queens Hotel or similar

We drive via the spectacular Outeniqua Pass to the town of George, where we then continue onto Knysna in the best possible way – on board the nostalgic steam train, the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe. Upon arrival in Knysna spend the rest of the day discovering the joys of the town’s

many art galleries, craft shops and coffee bars.

Cruise on the vast Knysna Lagoon, then visit the Featherbed Nature Reserve. Enjoy
an amazing view of the imposing sandstone ‘Heads’ which guard the sea entrance to Knysna’s huge tidal lagoon, and the forests, marshes and pristine beaches surrounding it. After lunch spend the rest of the day at leisure

to enjoy this lovely and special town.
