HEARD OF OSTRICH RIDING????? 
Yes, sounds unusual but we got to do it. We went to the Oudtshoorn Ostrich farm which is located on the way to the Congo caves. Ostrich's are lovely birds, extremely huge. Their slender long necks, soft feathers, its skin and the eggs which are so strong that it can even take the weight of a human body. The ostrich leather is one of the finest forms of leather in the world and also the most expensive. Used to make garments, upholstery, shoes etc. the egg shells are used for decoration and the feathers are used to make dusters. But, Lokesh and I decided not to buy anything but to do an ostrich ride.
First, we fed the ostrich's and then went into the farms to do a ride. Ostrich being the largest and heaviest flightless bird are quite interesting. Their long legs help them sprint at the speed of 70 kms/hr effortlessly. Their kick is strong enough to even kill a lion!!!!
That's how dangerous they can get. Ostrich's are specially curious and inquisitive about anything bright and shiny like jewelry, camera lens etc. Well, riding on them was just as thrilling or more than a roller coaster. Getting our balancing right is the trick and then its just fun!!!! All I can say is we loved it!
