NORTHERN CAPE
NATUREAugrabies Falls National Park
The great roar of the Orange River
Augrabies Falls is one of South Africa's classic natural spectacles, where the Orange River plunges through a rocky gorge in dramatic fashion. The Khoi name is often translated as the place of great noise, which captures the experience well when the river is running strongly. It pairs well with broader Northern Cape road trips through arid landscapes.
