Here, visitors are briefed on the ostrich industry by an experienced multilingual guide who will take visitors through the farm. Visitors are then taken to a breeding pen where a demonstration on the right way to pick up eggs will be shown. Visitors are allowed to ride ostriches and those who do so are given certificate qualifying them as ostrich jockeys. A visit to the farm is now not complete without the race and the chariot ride.

An ostrich can achieve a speed of up to 70kph. The other attractions at the farm include ostrich rides where visitors are also given certificates, and the “man against egg’’ challenge where one stands on an ostrich egg in an attempt to break it.
