This stunning waterfall (185 ft/55 m high), whose name derives from a San word meaning "Place of Great Noise," is located near the Namibian border, about 390 mi/625 km north of Cape Town.
The natural beauty is ripe for photography as the Orange River plunges into a narrow canyon. For a truly breathtaking experience, try a walk across the footbridge. The park has some wildlife and hiking, notably the three-day Klipspringer trail, and the Grade 2-3 rapids upriver are run by commercial rafters.
