The Augrabies Falls National Park is centered around the magnificent Augrabies Falls, where the Orange River thunders down a 56-meter drop into a narrow gorge. The Khoi people called it "Aukoerebis," meaning "place of great noise," which aptly describes the power of these falls.

- Distinctive quiver trees and kokerboom forests
- Wildlife including klipspringer, rock hyrax, and various raptors
Best Time to Visit:
