Wandering the illuminated chambers and halls of Cango Caves, you'll encounter a staggering number of fascinating dripstone formations, ornate crystals, stalactites, and stalagmites. If you're feeling adventurous, you can opt for the two-hour tour, during which you'll need to climb the rocks and crawl into narrow, claustrophobia-inducing passageways, to discover the cave's more remote grottos and pools.

My partner and I visited the Cango Caves when travelling the Garden Route from Cape Town to Knysna. They are just on the outside of Oudtshoorn, and are easily found. The visitor centre is large...

Be ready for enchantment and magic as you enter into one of South Africa's oldest caves. Breathtaking beauty of well preserved ancient limestone rock formations. The tour is an hour long and the guides are incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to the preservation of this much loved cave. Take the whole family to visit. This is an incredible experience. My tour group love it, and I absolutely loved it too. My first visit here was about 30 years ago and I'm so happy I was able to visit again. Loved it!!

Spectacular caves! We did the regular one hour Heritage tour which includes 5 chambers. The first two were amazing, one giant chamber where they used to hold concert for 1.500 people. The second one is just spectacular. The other three did not add too much. Guides were nice, helpful and all the knowledge.
