Cape Point Ostrich Farm is located along the scenic Cape Point route and offers a unique experience for visitors of all ages. This family-owned business has been established in 1996 and not only provides a fascinating insight into the lives of ostriches but is also a sanctuary and wildlife rehabilitation center for animals in need. So along the big birds, you will also see Tortoises and reptiles.
Take A Tour
The farm is home to a variety of ostriches, including rare breeds. As you wander through the farm, you’ll get up close to these magnificent birds and learn more about their fascinating behaviours and characteristics. Guided tours are available to give visitors an educational and engaging experience. On these tours, you can expect to learn about the life cycle of ostriches, from egg to adult, and gain insights into their habits and biology.
A highlight for many visitors is the opportunity to hand-feed the ostriches. This activity is a hit with kids and adults alike and provides a memorable hands-on experience. You will also discover the strength of an ostrich egg and many more interesting facts.

From high-quality ostrich leather items, such as handbags and belts, to decorative ostrich eggs, the shop offers a range of unique souvenirs and gifts. You’ll also find local crafts and other keepsakes to remember your visit. The very adventurous can even take home a full ostrich egg to prepare a very unique family meal. One egg feeds up to 5 people!

Our Experience
It was a lovely experience to get close to those fascinating birds and hand feed them. The farm staff was super helpful and welcoming and gave us many insights and facts about the life of an ostrich. The kids could also run around, jump on a trampoline, test their skills on the slack line and watch the many tortoises waddle around and eat fresh vegetables. The play area could do with a little love as it was a bit run down. However, the restaurant and shop are top notch, spacious and filled with so many pretty things that it’s hard not to take anything home.
