Augrabies Falls National Park Things to Do Tips by mvtouring

Animal spotting

We could not drive through the park, but at least at the restaurant area, we spotted some wildlife. The dassie came to lie at the table next to us, and the kraalogie (bird) was looking for material to build a nest.

Kokerboom

I am really sorry, but have no idea what the kokerboom is called in English. they grow in this region and are so lovely to me. They like the arad soil here, does not like a lot of water or cold.

Lookout points

The pathways and look out points are very well maintained and gives you a very good view to the falls. Much unlike when I visited this place as a teenager and there was no barriers or pathways to follow. You just found your own way around the very slippery rocks.

Entrance gate

The entrance gate to the park is approx 30km from Kakamas. It is a lovely tarred road and the entrance fee is R22 per person. no animals allowed within the park

Main falls

Augrabies Falls or as the Khoi people called it ‘Aukoerebis’, or place of Great Noise, is a place where the powerful flow of water is unleashed from rocky surroundings characterized by the 18km abyss of the Orange River Gorge.
