Long before you see the waterfall, you smell it. The scent of water flowing over hot desert rock lures you closer; the same smell that comes with the first thunderstorms after a long highveld winter. but strangely, there is no rain, just more sunshine, more rock and more heat.
Visit the Augrabies falls and, make it a point to visit the various veiwpoints of the falls and the gorge. Look out for the fascinating little creatures such as the colourful Broadley's lizard, which climbs up and down the high granite cliffs and jumps acrobatically to catch flying insects.
Go ahead, explore the Augrabies falls and enjoy a stay at the only one rest camp at Augrabies, or one of the 59 self-catering chalets
