Cango Caves





A stop on the way inland from Tsitsikama is the Cango Caves, one of the largest caves in the world. Our tour was 1 hr. and we didn't get 1/4 of the way into the cave. One chamber is so big it was used for classical concerts for 20 years until they stopped them in 1995 because of damage to the cave.

One funny building from Storms River Village advertised an Elvis Festival and had a building called the Tupulo House.

A beautiful flowering shrub in the Tsitsikama area is called "fynbosch" or literally "fine bush". Besides being a beautiful heather-like flower its name reminds me of one of the funny variations on the pronunciation of "Fine Bouche".

  1. Can't wait to see more pics of the cave. Hey, we are having trouble following your trajectory- please include the point on the map that you are closest too.
