The experience

Stand above the Orange River's granite gorge

At Augrabies, the Orange River is forced from a broad channel into fractured granite.

The boardwalks follow the sound toward viewpoints above the falling water and gorge.

Experience FAQ

Q01When is the waterfall strongest?

Flow depends on rainfall across the Orange River catchment far upstream, so local season alone cannot guarantee volume.

Q02Are the viewpoints accessible without a long hike?

The main falls are reached by developed walkways and viewing decks, subject to current park access.

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.
