The name Augrabies is derived from a Bushman phrase meaning 'place of great noise'. On game viewing drives, you'll be rewarded by prolific bird life and a rich variety of plants which have adapted to the environment. Kudu, springbok and klipspringer inhabit the reserve, as well as baboons and vervet monkeys. The popular three-day Klipspringer Trail was designed to encompass all the major landmarks in the southern section of the park, including some amazing rock formations. Three one-hour trails cater for the less energetic.
