Oudtshoort, 420 km from Cape Town and an arid, mountainous 180 km from Barrydale, styles itself as the ostrich capital of the world; the town's surrounds are indeed crammed with ostrich farms, several of which you can visit, and the local souvenir shops keep busy dreaming up 1001 tacky ways to recycle ostrich parts as comestibles and souvenirs.
The town's main interest visually lies in its Victorian and Edwardian sandstone buildings, some of which are unusually grand ed elegant for a karoo dorp; Oudtshoorn's primary draw is as the base for visiting the nearby Cango Caves.
