The first thing we did when we arrived at the Augrabies Waterfall and after booking into our chalet, was to go and have a look at the waterfall.

This waterfall is basically the Orange river falling down the gorge. The falls are about 56 meter high. These falls has recorded a flow of 7800 cubic meters during floods in 1988 which is 3 times as much as high season flow of the Niagra falls.
