Augrabiesvalle — Local services in Kai !Garib Local Municipality

This is probably the most awe-inspiring sight I have seen in my life. When I was a lot younger and staying in Bloemfontein I decided to go and look at this waterfall. I picked up a hitchhiker on the way there, and he said he knew how to get there and would show me part of the way.

I don't think that he showed me the official way, because I had to crawl over some rocks and could eventually see the water tumbling down. I then also saw a viewing platform some way down.

What is most impressive is the sound made by the waterfall. I can only approximate it to a rock crusher with extra bass and extreme volume. One can feel the vibration in the rocks and hear it from a long distance away.

I lay there, watching, for at least an hour, and was not really conscious of time passing.

I only got back to Bloemfontein on the next day, having delivered the hitchhiker to his kraal and sleeping in my car.

Other thing, get control of the Monkees you may also be surprised that people will start coming again no one wants to be robbed on a continuous basis. Staff are terrible treat you...

Big falls, big noise, big scenery. Orange river offering an awesome display. Augrabies Falls National Park is a national park located around the Augrabies Falls, about 120 km west of Upington in the Northern Cape Province, South Africa. It was established in 1966. The Augrabies Falls National Park covers an area of 820 km² and stretches along the Orange River. The area is very arid but the contrast that the falls offer is spectacular. Many things to enjoy but see if you can find the "jumpin gecko's" that feast on the multitude of...
