Augrabies is a tiny town located in the Green Kalahari Desert of the Northern Cape, and is most famous for its falls. The Augrabies Falls National Park is what draws countless visitors to the area every year, with the town providing adequate accommodation and amenities such as restaurants and general shops.

Although the town is rather sparse, it meets all the requirements of the avid adventurer travelling to the National Park, or other attractions of the region, such as the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park, the town of Kakamas or the natural hot springs of Riemvasmaak. The Green Kalahari is a magical destination with lots to offer, and Augrabies is just one of the gems it holds.
