The experience

See Augrabies as a granite landscape, not one waterfall

Moon Rock rises as a broad granite dome above Augrabies' arid interior.

From its upper surface, the river gorge becomes part of a much larger stone landscape.

Plan with Alex

Travel from Johannesburg into wildlife country, follow the warm coast toward the Cape, or let spring flowers lead you north into the Kalahari.

We begin with the part of South Africa you most want to feel, then give the country enough time to change around you.
