Safety
Augrabies Falls National Park is, in our opinion, a very safe place and almost free of all crime. There is some crime in South Africa’s cities, but as long as you take normal safety precautions, there is nothing to worry about (see ‘Cities & Other Urban Areas: Safety Precautions’ below). The vast majority of travelers don’t have any crime-related incidents during their tour.
Malaria-Free & Vaccinations
There is no malaria present in Augrabies, but if you are traveling to the north eastern part of South Africa during summer, you may need to take antimalarial drugs. In any case, several vaccinations are recommended for travel in South Africa. See your local doctor for advice.
Wildlife Viewing
Although Augrabies Falls doesn't really have any dangerous animals, it is always recommended to use common sense when viewing wildlife and listen to the instructions given by your guide.
