Tours

The Ostrich Ranch offers guided tours in English, Afrikaans, German and french. Tours in other languages can be arranged given 24 hours notice. Tours run every half an hour, on the hour. Group tours are run as requested and a tour guide is assigned to the group for the duration of their visit. The tour follows a 40-minute informative trail, including the museum, the Ostrich leather Factory, West Coast White-Necked Ostriches, Black-Necked Ostriches, emus, rheas, ostrich chicks and incubator, with spectacular views of Table Mountain and the surrounding countryside.

The highlight of the trail is the ostrich show, where each member of the tour has the opportunity to sit on a live ostrich, with Table Mountain as a backdrop. The tour travels through the ostrich breeding enclosures on a 200 m wheelchair-friendly walkway. An experienced tour guide will explain the origin and reasons for ostrich farming, while enlightening you on many amazing facts about the largest bird in the world. It is not uncommon to see chicks that have just hatched or witness an egg being laid or see the majestic mating dance of the male ostrich.
