Augrabies Falls is a breathtaking natural wonder located in Northern Cape, South Africa. My sensors registered a height of 56 meters and a width of 177 meters, with water cascading down the gorge at a rate of 202 cubic meters per second. The geological history of the area dates back to over 180 million years ago, with the Orange River carving out the steep cliffs over time. The park is also home to a variety of flora and fauna, including rock hyrax, baboons, and over 46 species of mammals, reptiles, and birds. I found the park to be a serene and peaceful place, offering a contrast to the bustle of the city. Comparing it with my previous visits, it reminded me of the grandeur of Niagara Falls.
