Augrabies National Park - Most popular Camps

Situated along the echoing caverns of the Orange River Gorge, the Augrabies Falls National Park is home to the thundering 56 meter high falls that the Khoi people named Aukoerebis, or “place of great noise”. With an average flow rate greater than that of Niagra Falls, the waters of the Augrabies Waterfall cascade into the rocky canyon below, carving into the granite gorge and creating a spectacular roar - especially when the river is in flood.

The landscape of this South African National Park is stark and arid, made up of sandstone and rocky outcrops which are rich in deposits of alluvial diamonds and dotted with the characteristic giant aloe. Known as the kokerboom or quiver tree because the San used the soft branches to make quivers for their arrows, the aloe is an unmistakable silhouette set against the flat expanses of the Northern Cape landscape. Aside from the falls, Augrabies Park is also home to fascinating geographical features like Moon Rock, a hulking granite exfoliation dome and viewpoints of Ararat and Echo Corner - from which the panorama of this vast and austere landscape is laid bare.
