Oudtshoorn is well known as the Ostrich Capital of the World. The area is home to a great number of Ostrich Farms and produces feathers, leather products and ostrich meat world wide. On your trip to Oudtshoorn, a stop at Highgate Ostrich Show Farm for an ostrich tour and ostrich ride is a must see.
