Cango Caves

Approximately 360 kilometers from Port Elizabeth and 29km from Oudtshoorn, at the head of the picturesque Cango Valley, lies the spectacular underground wonder of the Klein Karoo - the Cango Caves. Situated in a limestone ridge parallel to the well known Swartberg Mountains, you will find the finest dripstone caverns, with their vast halls and towering formations. This Natioanal treasure offers the traveler an opportunity to explore this strange and beautiful subterranean world.

You catch your breath as the first view of VAN ZYL'S HALL, named after (named after its first explorer), opens up before you. Ancient stalactites, aptly known as The dried tobacco leaves of Oudtshoorn, fest on the grey - blue of the limestone ceiling. This spacious hall is over 90 meters long, 50 meters wide at its widest point, and between 14 and 18 meters high. Nearly 100 meters of solid limestone roof separates the cavern from the ridge crest above.

Leaving Van Zyl's Hall through a wide passageway, you enter the spectacular BOTHA'S HALL, with its decorative side-chamber, The Throne Room. Glancing to the left as we enter Botha's Hall, we see a formation resembling the beak of a Giant Eagle, feeding its chick. Botha's Hall is dominated by two completed columns soaring upwards to the ceiling.
