Situated in a limestone ridge parallel to the Swartberg Mountains, the Cango Caves are a series of dripstone caverns that open into vast halls of towering stalagmite formations…
Excellent cave images Nat, I remember when we used to travel down to Zimbabwe (it was Rhodesia then) from Zambia, we always stopped at the Sinoa Caves, did you ever see them?
wow- amazing photos- Looks similar to Carlsbad Caves we have. So maybe I can ask you this- We were thinking of doing a family trip next year to Tanzania- do you have any advice- what about other places that you would recommend- I really want to go to Zanzibar- so we were thinking it could be a beach/safari trip. My boys have never been to Africa and I am looking forward to taking them.
wow .. really cool photos. Although I have a hard time breathing just looking at them. Not sure I could do a tour like this (I remember my parents taking us to the Ozarks when I was a kid and I we went on a tour of a number of caves. I think my brother threatened to leave me in there and I'm scarred for life - ah, but I still enjoy your pics!)
It looks amazing there! South Africa is definitely on my list of places to travel to! When I was in Slovenia i went to some really cool caves there - http://www.slovenia.info/?naravne_znamenitosti_jame=450 - they were pretty amazing!
Happy weekend Nat.....
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of the Caves.. but I can only look
at photos of caves... too claustrophobic for me.

ReplyDeleteThis is still on my to do list! Oudtshoorn is so close to us, yet I have never been to the Cango Caves.
ReplyDeleteCool cave shots! You must have a really good low light camera.

@PerthDailyPhoto - I saw the Sinoa Caves (now the Chinhoyi Caves (as a very young child so don't remember much :-)
ReplyDelete@Ren - sorry, haven't been to Tanzania yet, but I have heard that Zanzibar is beautiful! I would highly recommend South Africa too :-)
Caves are so beautiful, but I'm afraid to go inside. So I'm happy to enjoy them through your fantastic images!
ReplyDeletehow amazing that is! I have always wanted to visit a cave like that. Hope you are doing wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteCaves are seriously amazing. Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteASTOUNDING photographs !
ReplyDeleteHave a super week.
Did you do the standard or adventure tour? I went there last year. Did the standard tour.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments everyone :-)
ReplyDelete@Sid - did the standard tour...not up to crawling through tight spaces... thought my ass might get stuck :-)
Great photos! I love caverns, but the formations can be pretty spooky looking...
ReplyDeletewe did the caves in virginia last summer, it's breathtaking. yo, that one cactus really does look like a weenie :)
