Meerkat Adventure Tours in Oudtshoorn, Western Cape

Original Tours Since 2004

The most popular of our activities we offer are without a doubt the daily wild habituated meerkat tours. These tours that commence only at sunrise are dependent on fair weather, since these little creatures will not venture outside their burrows on cold and rainy days.

Oudtshoorn

In the Klein Karoo area of the Western Cape

Oudtshoorn is the ostrich capital of the world. The world’s biggest bird is just one of the many attractions in this area of exceptional contrasts and natural beauty.

The region is home to the spectacular Cango Caves, Africa’s largest show cave system; an ecological hotspot where three distinct plant biomes (succulent karoo, cape thicket and fynbos) converge; and the Swartberg mountain range, which is part of the Cape Floral World Heritage Site.

De Zeekoe is only a 10 min drive from Oudtshoorn and perfectly based to explore the scenic attractions of the Klein Karoo as well as the natural beauty of the nearby garden route.

For more information, click on the Oudtshoorn Tourism.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It's in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful nowhere. Lovely well appointed rooms. Great views/ grounds. I love the swing on my deck and just listening to nature. Love also that they are trying to be sustainable/use local products. The buildings are lovely. Especially like the liquor that is in the room. Not sure what it is exactly but it's good!! Also book the Meerkats!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nicely presented rooms and great service.  Theo was very helpful with his advice on the area and the Meerkat Experience we were doing at dawn the following day.  Unfortunately only stayed one night - would definitely stay again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best stay here we could wish for. Check-in was swift and super friendly. Rooms were immaculate! Cozy bedroom with the most comfortable bed and mosquito net, beautiful bathroom with full bath, shower and separate toilet. Stunner of a balcony! Pool is a bit chilly, but wonderful views all around and plenty of comfortable sunbeds. Dinner was lovely, again - super friendly staff and tasty courses. Meerkat tour nearby is on the property of the Zeekoe so you get a nice discount for booking the activity through them which is an absolute must - these guys are just too cute to miss.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Omdat wij op doorreis waren, hebben we maar één nacht doorgebracht bij De Zeekoe. We kregen een prachtige kamer met terras en uitzicht op de bergen, we hebben hiervan genoten.
Zowel het diner als ontbijt de volgende ochtend heeft uitstekend gesmaakt. Directie en personeel zijn heel vriendelijk en samen met de locatie heeft De Zeekoe een onuitwisbare indruk bij ons achter gelaten. Als we in de gelegenheid zijn, komen we graag terug voor een langer verblijf!
