Augrabies primary claim to fame is the scenic beauty of the Augrabies Falls and the Orange river as well as the fascinatingly rugged desert landscapes of the surrounding countryside. Wildlife sightings are likely to be limited to a few small antelope, rock rabbits, brightly coloured lizards and intensely annoying midges (commonly referred to 'miggies’).

Accommodation it typical National Parks style Chalets and cottages.

It is not a park for wildlife, but for the falls; these are very nice and worth the visit
Accomodation is very good

The weather the day we went was nice and warm and the spray of the water cools you off nicely. Best time to go see the falls is when their was massive rains then the river is full and you can see most of the falls.
To see with what force the water falls down that massive drop is just awesome the noice is thunderous and you don't get to see that everyday.

During our walk on an 5km trail we did not see much wildlife, but the fall is very impressive.

Beautiful scenery park with easy to find wildlife
Overall rating
4/5

Augrabies Falls National Park is a beautiful smaller park with fantastic scenery around the falls and the gorge. There is a lot of wildlife which is pretty easy to find and can be seen and photographed at close distance. Game such as giraffe, zebra, springbok, kudu, oryx, baboon, monkey can be found.
The accommodation in the park is good with comfortable cabins and a nice restaurant and shop. The weather in the winter time is good with nice temperatures without extreme heat. In the winter time not a lot of tourists are in the park creating some additional bush vibe
The night game drive is fun with some challenge to find animals, but is rewarding if nocturnal animals turn up under an amazing starry sky.
