It’s a seriously impressive flow at the National Park, with the waterfall reaching a flow rate of 3,991 cubic metres per second while the orange River flows over the tall falls, as SANParks shares.
This is a huge jump from the falls typical flow-rate, which is between 30 and 50 cubic metres per second. And, it’s all thanks to the rainfall South Africa has welcomed.
As such, Augrabie Falls National Park has become a water wonder, boasting phenomenal sites for visitors. Though some parts of the Park have been closed for safety reasons (including the game viewing are and the picnic site), there are still three viewing decks open.
