ABOUT LINX AFRICA
Kuruman to Aughrabies
The sights offered by the falls thundering down the 56-m Augrabies Waterfall into the massive tear cut in the solid rock through the milleniums below the falls are totally breathtaking.
The name comes from the Khoi word "Aukoerebis" meaning place of Great Noise. Descriptive names such as Moon Rock, Ararat and Echo Corner tells you of this rocky region.
Hardy Quiver trees stand in stark silhouette against the African sky, growing everywhere they can find some soil to anchor their roots.
The 55 000 hectares of Park on both sides of the Orange River is home to a diversity of species, from the very smallest succulents, reptiles and birds to springbok, gemsbok and giraffe.
Apart from visiting the Falls, make sure to see the Moon Rock, Ararat, Arrow Point and Echo Corner.
You can do some game viewing at leisure using your own vehicle, or you can do the Dassie trail, a shortish hike to Arrow Point, the Potholes and Moonrock before heading back to the camp.
The more adventurous can do the
Klipspringer Hiking Trail, which is a 2 night hike. Advance bookings are essential.
Night drives may be available with a minimum of 4 people.
Mountainbikes are allowed and can be rented at the park if available.
4X4 vehicles can do the Wilderness Road which is 94km long and will take approximately 6 hours to complete. There is a picnic spot about halfway along the road with ablution and braai facilities.
The Park also offers a picnic area and a swimming pool for day visitors, fuel, a shop and a restaurant.
The Park offers accommodation in Chalets, Family Cottages and Campsites.
