The spectacular wonder that is the Augrabies National Park. Hundreds of visitors from around the South Africa flock to Augrabies Fall National Park, 120kms from Upington to experience the powerful flow of water – unleashed from rocky surroundings.

Few sights are as awesome or a sound as deafening as water thundering down the 56-m Augrabies Waterfall when the Orange River is in full flood. The Khoi people called it ‘Aukoerebis’, or place of Great Noise, as this powerful flow of water is unleashed from rocky surroundings characterized by the 18-km abyss of the Orange River Gorge. Picturesque names such as Moon Rock, Ararat and Echo Corner are descriptive of this rocky region. Klipspringer and kokerboom (quiver trees) stand in stark silhouette against the African sky, silent sentinels in a strangely unique environment where only those that are able to adapt ultimately survive. The 28 000 hectares on both the northern and southern sides of the Orange River provide sanctuary to a diversity of species, from the very smallest succulents, birds and reptiles to springbok, gemsbok and the endangered black rhino.

The Augrabies Falls

Augrabies National Park, one gets to understand why the Khoi people call the Augrabies Falls, Aukoerabis or the Place of the Great Noise. Apart from the main fall, 11 other falls of the Augrabies Falls are visible from the board walk.
