The Augrabies Falls National Park can be found amidst the barren and desolate scenery of desert sand, thorny shrub and rock of the green Kalahari region in the north of the Northern Cape Province, where the Orange river runs wide and gently.

Many people who go to Augrabies Falls National Park are quite happy to admire the main falls and then move on, but others enjoy to drive through the park as well as to explore its amazing landscapes and plant life,where only the fittest and those who adapt, ultimately survive.
