Feet in Oudtshoorn

July 11, 2010

One of the places we visited in South Africa earlier this year was Oudtshoorn, which is in the middle of ostrich land. We stayed a couple of nights at Mooiplaas Guesthouse—an ostrich farm—which was simply fantastic.

In the front of the guest house they had a couple of fenced in areas with a few horses and ostriches. For some reason I had to take pictures of their feet:

Oudtshoorn was one of the really positive surprises, in my opinion. We only planned to use it as base for discovering adjacent areas, but after being introduced to some of what Oudtshoorn has to offer, we luckily changed our plans to have an awesome whole day there and in the surrounding mountains.

Special thanks to manager Andre at Mooiplaas, among other things for making the most perfect ostrich braai. If you haven't tasted grilled ostrich meat, you're missing out.
