Augrabies Falls National Park is a national park located around the Augrabies Falls, about 120 km west of Upington[1] in the Northern Cape Province, South Africa.
The Augrabies Falls National Park covers an area of 820 km2[2] and stretches along the Orange River. The area is very arid. The waterfall is about 60 metres high[3] and is awe-inspiring when the river is in flood. The gorge below the falls averages about 240 m deep and runs for 18 kilometres. The gorge provides an impressive example of erosion into a granitic basement.
The park was established in 1966.[4]
