  • Greetings from sunny South Africa! In this week’s video, we show you why Augrabies Is A Hidden Gem!!
    Augrabies is such a beautiful area with amazing landscapes and quite a few fun activities to get up to. No one ever told us how amazing the Northern Cape is! We never realised what a gem it was until we went exploring there for the first time.
    Check out Caleb's channel here / @calebjanssens
    A couple weeks ago we set out on what we thought would be a week-long trip. Here we are a month later still on the road! We’re absolutely loving it. Check out some of our other videos from the road trip:

    The Kameeldoring Campsite is located right in the heart of the Augrabies region less than 500 meters away from the gate to the Augrabies Falls National Park. It is located right on the banks of the Orange River. Each campsite is a stand-alone unit with individual kitchen and bathroom facilities. If you are not feeling adventurous enough for camping they also offer fully furnished tented chalets. Find more information about Kameeldoring Camping here: www.kameeldori...
    We're sure you'll be as amazed as we were to find out that this dry and seemingly barren landscape is home to booming agricultural fruit production. They produce fruits such as table grapes, nectarines, oranges, peaches, grapefruits, and many more. Literally everywhere you look, you will see shade clothed orchards and vineyards. Let's get back to our special location for the day.
    Khamkirri is an amazing lodge that offers a number of accommodation options including camping facilities. They are situated right on the banks of the Orange River with an incredible restaurant and bar that's deck literally stretches out into the water. They offer a number of exciting activities such as kayaking, white water rafting, and many more. Find out more about Kamkirri here: khamkirri.co.za/
    The Augrabies Falls National Park covers 820 square kilometers and is located around the Augrabies Falls. This magnificent waterfall plummets 60 meters down into the gorge which averages 240 meters deep and runs for 18km. As you explore the park you can be on the lookout for wildlife such as klipspringers, jackals, gemsbok, kudu, eland, leopards, and African wild cats. where the mighty orange river is at its most impressive as it thunders its way through a ravine and cascades down into a pool walled by sheer granite, 56m below
    Our tips for visiting this region:
    ◾Do a bit of research before arriving at the particular area you will be staying in. Find out where the closest stores are for supplies etc. Often the nearest store will be some 20 km away from where you plan on staying.
    ◾ Keep a respectful distance from wildlife.
    ◾Check out some of the amazing activities to do in Augrabies such as hot air ballooning, a range of fun activities offered by Khamkirri, as well as visiting the beautiful Augrabies Falls National Park.
