Augrabies Falls National Park

Augrabies Falls National Park protects a dramatic stretch of the Orange River near Kakamas, where the river drops through a granite gorge in a surge that the Khoi name Aukoerebis describes as the “Place of Great Noise”. The main waterfall is the immediate draw, but the larger park is a hot, rocky desert landscape of riverine vegetation, granite domes, quiver trees and wide open plains that rewards more than a quick viewpoint stop.
