Ostrich Racing near Oudtshoorn, Klein Karoo, South Africa

Have you seen ostriches race? Ostrich racing is a sport similar to horse riding. It's considered more difficult to ride an ostrich than a horse. While in the Klein Karoo (Little Karoo) semi-desert area in South Africa, don't miss the chance to watch ostrich racing. The region is the biggest breeding ground for ostriches in the world. ******************************************************************** Read what else you can see and do on a road trip through the South African semi-desert, the Klein Karoo: https://ntripping.com/klein-karoo/ Learn what other fascinating South African animals you can encounter: https://ntripping.com/south-african-animals/ ******************************************************************** The largest town in the Klein Karoo - Oudtshoorn - is the Ostrich Capital of the World. Hence, an ostrich farm visit is a must-do activity, if you happen to be in the area. A special treatment for the visitors is a ride on an ostrich's back. It's extremely difficult to master it, so you better leave the ostrich racing to the professionals :-) We visited Highgate Ostrich Show Farm in February 2017 during our visit to South Africa and the Klein Karoo. The ostrich racing was the highlight of the tour :-)
