5.00We had an absolutely wonderful experience visiting the Cango Caves and the ostrich farms. Johann Gerber knowledge, guidance, and storytelling throughout the trip truly brought each place to life and made the entire journey unforgettable. His passion and attention to detail ensured that we felt informed, comfortable, and well taken care of at every step. Both Johann Gerber and his partner went above and beyond to make our trip special. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine effort made us feel completely at ease, and they created memories our kids will cherish for a very long time. This experience will stay with us, and our children will definitely remember Johan for years to come. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and well-guided experience

5.00Great day out to the Kango Caves and Ostrich Farm- don't miss either of these! Johann our guide for the day was excellent - provided individual service of the highest standard. Our accommodation was 15km outside Oodsthoorn and nowhere near the stated pickup points, but a message to Johann and he immediately agreed to pick us up at our hotel. His knowledge and expertise was invaluable to us getting the most out of the day, with little tips throughout on what to do, where to stand for the best photos, etc, And rounded off with lunch at the most wonderful place overlooking a waterhole with wildlife- where Johann ensured that we got the best table for views ( of course!!). We would very highly recommend! Many thanks, Johann!

5.00Excellent service provided by Johan. 1. Professionalism : Johan arrived 20 minutes before scheduled time and gave short overview before we left the hotel. 2. Knowledge: Along the way Johan explained about the name of the mountain, mountain passes and geographical layout of the towns. 3. Ostrich Farm: Extensive background information was given about the farm and the ownership of the farm. 4. Cango Caves. Details of the history of the cave and its formation. The inside tour was done by Eric with Johan giving us additional information about the cave.

5.00We had a fantastic time with Johann. He is extremely knowledgeable about the fauna and flora, history, and geology of the area. We started at the Ostrich farm, after which we grabbed a coffee on the way to the Cango Caves. We ended with a nice lunch, overlooking a watering hole. All in all a great time.
Ostriches, Caves and a lovely chat about Travel & Life !!

5.00We had a great experience exploring the Cango Caves and the Ostrich farm with our guide Mr. Johann Gerber. He helped us with interesting trivia and history about the town of Oudtshoorn on our way. During our time at Cango caves and Ostrich farm we were helped with interesting facts which helped us get a broader perspective. He also clicked some lovely candid photos for us while we were trying to feed the Ostriches and shared it with us later over WhatsApp. Finally we ended our day with a scrumptious lunch included in the package with a wonderful lake view at the Buffelsdrift Game Lodge where we sampled some Ostrich meat as well. We were lucky to see 3 Hippopotamus get into the lake for a bath, a giraffe and 3 elephants - which was really an add on experience. Overall had a great time chatting with Mr. Gerber about his travel experiences over lunch which has definitely given us some bucket list for the future. Highly recommend trying this experience when in South Africa and it's a great value for money.
A Great Day Out!
