It is the place where the Orange River cascades down the 60 m in a spectacular waterfall and then continues its path through an 18 km abyss of the Orange River Gorge. The sight and sound of the power of the water will not be easily forgotten. Located in the Cape Province, South Africa, “Augrabies” actually means the place of the Great Noise.

Walking to the summit will give one of the best views of the park and its surroundings. 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 birds to springbok and the endangered black rhino.

The summers are hot and nights cold during winter. Take cool or light clothing for summer and warm for winter – area prone to sudden weather changes. March and October are the most pleasant months in the park, but January to April is the rainy season.
