The Augrabies Falls National Park is where the Orange River drops 191 metres at the Augrabies Falls.

In late summer new waterfalls form at the sidewalls, and the air is filled with dense spraying fog.

The gorge at the Augrabies Falls is 240 m deep and 18 km long.

It is a most impressive example of granite erosion. When the whole landmass of the area lifted about 500 million years ago, the Orange River slowly started to dig its bed into the ground.

The vegetation is suited to the arid desert climate.

The Kokerboom, or Quiver Tree grow here.

The park contains a game reserve with rhinos as the main attraction.
