Oudtshoorn, What to See



C.P. Nel Museum

The C.P. Nel Museum is a good place to start your explorations.
A handsome sandstone building, it was built in 1906 as a boys' school, but now houses an eccentric collection of items relating to ostriches.



Le Roux Town House

A perfectly preserved family town house, and the only way to get a glimpse inside one of the much - vaunted feather palaces.
The beautifully preserved furnishings were all imported from Europe between 1900 and 1920, and there is plenty to stroll around and admire.

Buffelsdrift Game Lodge

Though not hugely traditional for Oudtshoorn, Buffelsdrift Game Lodge offers the opportunity to feed and touch elephants.
Book ahead for a really worthwhile experience where you get to stroke elephants under the guidance of their handlers, and watch them at training and play.
From the Lodge's restaurant on the large dam you are likely to see hippos, and may be lucky to see other animals coming to drink.
It's also possible to stay here.
