Augrabies Fall National Park Augrabies Fall National Park is located in northwestern South Africa near the frontier with Namibia. It is one of the country's great natural wonders. The park is about 320 square miles wide and was established in 1967.
Vegetation here is sparse and consists mainly of euphorbias and kokerbooms.
It is a region of extreme aridity with an annual rainfall of only four and a half inches. However, animals such as antelopes, gazelles, porcupines, leopards, baboons, and vervet monkeys do live in this region. It is a sacred place to a group of Africans, the Hottentot. On the other part of the park is the famous Augrabies Fall, which is among the six largest falls in the world. These taxis are lined up in rows each day to be ready to transport people from one place to another.
