Accommodation Venue - Augrabies National
Park ( Game Lodges & Resorts Accommodation
in Augrabies Falls National Park / Kalahari / South Africa )
Few sights are as awesome or a sound as deafening
as water thundering down the 56-m Augrabies Waterfall when the
Orange River is in full flood. The Khoi people called it ‘Aukoerebis’,
or place of Great Noise, as this powerful flow of water is unleashed
from rocky surroundings characterized by the 18-km abyss of the
Orange River Gorge. Picturesque names such as Moon Rock, Ararat
and Echo Corner are descriptive of this rocky region. Klipspringer
and kokerboom (quiver trees) stand in stark silhouette against
the African sky, silent sentinels in a strangely unique environment
where only those that are able to adapt ultimately survive. The
28 000 hectares on both the northern and southern sides of the
Orange River provide sanctuary to a diversity of species, from
the very smallest succulents, birds and reptiles to springbok,
gemsbok and the endangered black rhino.
