Cango Caves

Jul 1, 2025

OUDTSHOORN ACTIVITIES

(OUT OF TOWN)

CANGO CAVES

Cango Caves offer a fascinating pilgrimage through time.  The caverns began forming 20 million years ago when acidic ground water chemically eroded the 100-million-year-old limestone rock – although today’s dramatic stalactites and stalagmites began growing only when the water which once filled the Caves drained away:  a mere three million years ago.

Man has visited Cango since ancient times:  Southern Africa’s earliest people found shelter here for more than 80 000 years before the Caves were re-discovered’ – in 1780 – by Dutch colonists. It has since become one of South Africa’s most frequently visited tourism attractions.

It is an attraction of many firsts:

  • First to be protected by environmental legislation.
  • First to employ a full-time tourist guide.
  • South Africa’s oldest tourist attraction.
  • Biggest show cave system in Africa.

Cango Caves are open 364 days per year, except 25 December.
