Year-round — the caves hold a constant temperature

Deep in the Swartberg foothills near Oudtshoorn, the Cango Caves are a spectacular sequence of limestone chambers and dripstone formations, and one of South Africa's oldest tourist draws.

Standard heritage tours take in the grand first halls; adventure tours squeeze on through narrow tunnels for the more intrepid.
