Augrabies Falls Draws Tourists Amid Surging Waters

Tourists who have travelled to Augrabies Falls National Park in the Northern Cape say the experience is breathtaking. The park has recorded a dramatic increase in water volumes, with the waterfall reaching an impressive flow rate of 3 991 cubic metres per second as the Orange River plunges over the iconic 56-metre-high falls.

Typically, the flow at the falls ranges between 30 and 50 cubic metres per second. The last time the park recorded 4,000 cubic metres per second was in 2011.

Some visitors say it was an incredible experience,

We came to visit the falls to show our children who have not been here before, as well the experience is fantastic. I have not seen it in many years like this.

Today, my plan was just to come and relax here at Augrabies waterfall. The experience here is very nice.
