South Africans are sports mad: the fortunes of our national rugby, cricket and soccer teams often decide our collective mood.
Win or lose, most of us love to play sport, to talk about sport and to watch sport - and Oudtshoornites are no different.
The town boasts established athletics, bowls-, tennis-, squash-, rugby-, cricket- and golf clubs (and golfers have a wide selection of some of the country’s top courses at George and Mossel Bay - both less than an hour’s drive away).
You don’t have to visit a club to enjoy your sport in Oudtshoorn - the presence of many long, safe and interesting country roads makes the Little Karoo a mecca for cyclists and runners.
