“That’s no tour guide; that’s an angel in uniform.”
A Cango Caves tour guide brought the heavens to the depths of the earth recently when she was showing her tour group the power of cave acoustics!
Cango Caves, South Africa (18 August 2024) — Most tour guides are remembered for their charming personalities, the ability to condense years of knowledge into a few sentences and if you’re on a particularly entertaining tour—a great sense of humour. But one Cango Caves tour guide is known for a different quality among many others—having the voice of an angel.
On a tour through the famed caves, tour guide Leigh-Ann Coetzee tested out the acoustics of the cave walls. To her group’s surprise, she did so by turning the moment into one from an opera—bursting out into the soprano’s song.
Sharon Waugh shared the breathtaking moment that left mouths agape on TikTok, where soon, a much larger audience became enthralled by the songbird doubling as a tour guide.
“Orchestra performances used to take place in this cave and it’s not hard to see (or rather hear) why,” said Sharon.
@thesharonicles Orchestra performances used to take place in this cavern and it’s not hard to see (or rather hear) why. It’s hard to tell from this video, but I was awestruck by the sheer volume of this “hall” which could easily accommodate an orchestra and an audience. It turns out there is one here that’s three times the size (but not accessible to the public). Thanks so much, Leanne, for singing for us. #cangocaves #acoustics #avemaria #chills #bucketlist #oudtshoorn #travelsouthafrica ♬ original sound – Sharon Waugh
As some users shared, Leigh-Ann is no stranger to otherworldly performances on her tours. Those who hadn’t met Leigh-Ann but were in equal awe of her voice couldn’t stop singing her praises.
As one user shared, “that’s no tour guide, that’s an angel in uniform.”
Another wrote: “Give that woman a raise.”
And another added: “What an angelic voice. South Africa do your thing. Let’s make her famous.”
Leigh-Ann herself responded to the video, sharing that she “dearly appreciates all the comments.”
Needless to say, Leigh-Ann could easily trade the cave stage for those above the ground. If the over 70,000 views of the video of her singing are anything to go by, we’re sure she’d have South Africans lining up to hear her!
