    Things To Do: CANGO WILDLIFE RANCH.

  • The Cango Wildlife Ranch is situated just outside Oudtshoorn in the Little Karoo, and since its inception in 1977 it has grown to become one of the largest tourist attractions of the region. Purchased as the Cango Crocodile Ranch by Andrew and Glenn Eriksen in 1986, the focus of the ranch shifted towards the plight of endangered species, and in line with this dedication it was expanded to include a number of big cats, with its first breeding programme focusing on the highly endangered Cheetah.

    The Cango Wildlife Ranch and its breeding centre is carefully designed so that its more than 47 species of animals and reptiles can roam peacefully in comfortable natural enclosures, giving visitors the opportunity to closely observe, and in some cases, interact with a wide variety of unusual and endangered animals.

     Wonderful introductory paragraphs. You manage to come up with some pretty clever comments! Ostrich bra is quite a riot. Leave it to you to come up with something to bring in your trademark "pretty girl"! Yet, still I learned a great deal about Oudshoorn.l
