Augrabies Falls Rest Camp Accommodation Augrabies Falls National Park SANParks

Augrabies Falls Rest Camp

Augrabies Falls Rest Camp is the only rest camp in the remote area of the expansive Northern Cape Province. In spite of this, many tourists visit the park each year – especially when the Gariep River is in flood and the Augrabies Falls particularly spectacular. Travellers en route to or from the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park or travelling between South Africa and Namibia, often use the camp as a stop-over.
