Traveling along the R62 Wine Route from Cape Town to Oudtshoorn is a scenic journey through the heart of South Africa’s countryside, known for its rugged beauty, charming small towns, and award-winning wines. As you leave Cape Town behind, the route winds through the fertile vineyards of the Breede River Valley and into the arid landscapes of the Klein Karoo. Towns like Robertson, Montagu, Calitzdorp, and Barrydale each offer their own unique charm, with boutique wine estates, art galleries, farm stalls, and warm hospitality. The road is flanked by towering mountains and expansive plains, making it a favorite among road-trippers seeking a more laid-back alternative to the N2. As the journey approaches Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital of the world, the landscape becomes more dramatic, hinting at the natural wonders that lie ahead. The R62 is more than just a route—it’s an experience that blends scenery, flavor, and culture into an unforgettable adventure.

Visiting the Cango Caves, nestled 30 km north of Oudtshoorn in the verdant foothills of the Swartberg, is stepping into a 20‑million‑year‑old limestone marvel—Africa’s largest show‑cave and one of Southern Africa’s Seven Wonders.
