The Cango Caves are located in the foothills of the Swartberg range near the town of Oudtshoorn. The principal cave is one of the country's finest, best known and most popular tourist caves and attracts many visitors from overseas.
Although the extensive system of tunnels and chambers go on for over 2 ¾ miles, only about a quarter of this is open to visitors, who may proceed into the cave only in groups supervised by a guide. Tours are conducted at regular intervals on most days - there is a "Standard Tour" which takes an 2 hours. The caves contain spectacular halls and grand limestone formations. The forms of the caves were great, but the pictures do not do them justice.
