See the lizards sunning themselves on the rocks and the brown muddy water of the Orange River churning along the granite rock face. Like other parts of this province, this is a harsh land, where the fittest survive.. whether an animal or a plant!
5 things to look for here are:
The Falls
Moon Rock
Ararat
Arrow Point
Potholes
Echo Corner
Fabulous names for fabulous places.. rock formations and waterfalls.
The Orange River drops a huge 191 metres at the breathtaking Augrabies Falls. The gorge at the Augrabies Falls is 18 km in length and 240 metres deep.
You can go on lovely night game drives, hiking trails, Dassie nature trails etc. here. It is a place for the outdoors person, and is enjoyable for mum, dad and kids! Leave a Comment

She has told us many stories re growing up in this region and what they had to do when their water ran out, when the electricity went etc. occurances which happen often here.
Viewing the quiver trees in Springbok is a must though – oddly shaped and much loved!
And possibly the most well known feature of this area too.
This area is desolate, desert-like and harsh. It is also beautiful, mystical and haunting. Leave a Comment

This is a large region, encompassing Port Nolloth from the south, to the Orange River in the north, and from Vioolsdrif in the east, to Alexander Bay in the west.
We have been to a few South African Nationa Parks, and they have always had good facilities, security and clean and comfortable accommodation.
The Richtersveld National Park, which is found next to the Orange River, is the least developed of all the SAN Parks and a 4X4 is needed for many areas here, or else it is inaccesible.
Definately worth a visit if you dont mind roughing it a bit and dont need facilities like showers and loos! The experience is amazing and well worth it. Leave a Comment

 Lions Mating by Waxbag
This is South Africa’s second premier park and is now getting a lot more press and attention. It is very popular during school holidays so book ahead during January and February and during the three week holiday in July.
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is the middle of the Kalahari Desert. It has sparse vegetation and most of the water is found in the dry riverbeds of the Auob and Nossob Rivers. This is a fantastic park to find predators and to see large herbivores that constantly search for water and sweet grasses. Lion, leopard, cheetah, spotted hyena, brown hyena, honey badger, black back jackal and bat-eared fox are some of the predators you may find here. Springbok, gemsbok, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest, steenbok are common and eland and giraffe uncommon. Ground squirrel and suricates (meerkats) are prevalent. There are no larger game here such as buffalo, elephant or rhino, but the amazing landscapes and the better opportunity of spotting predators make up for that lacking.
