Augrabies Falls National Park

In close proximity to Upington, Augrabies Falls National Park is situated on the banks of the mighty Orange River. The Khoi people called it “Aukoerebis”, or place of Great Noise, referring to the water thundering its way downwards in a spectacular waterfall.

The Park is home to the majestic Augrabies Falls, which freefalls 56 meters into the spectacular 18km gorge below. Several panoramic viewpoints can be visited inside the park, all of which give stunning vistas of the park, the gorge and the Orange River.

Klipspringer and quiver trees stand in stark silhouette against African skies in this unique geological environment, where only those that are able to adapt ultimately survive.
