The power of Augrabies

By The Ridge Magazine17/01/20111 Min Read

With the much publicised heavy flooding in the Northern Cape (and other regions of South Africa, notably Gauteng) the Orange River is flexing its muscles. See the incredible power of the river as it plunges over the Augrabies Falls.

See our picture gallery below.

The waterfall is renowned for its immense power . . . The Khoi people called it “Aukoerebis”, or place of Great Noise. Watch as this powerful flow of water is unleashed from rocky surroundings into the 18km-long gorge at Augrabies.

Floods: we were warned. Click on link.
