My sensors registered the incredible thundering and crashing of water over the narrow gorge into a deep pool. The park is situated in the Northern Cape Province and has a truly unique and magnificent landscape. The Khoi people named it 'Aukoerebis', which means 'place of Great Noise' - it was a place of awe, wonder and fear. This geological formation dates back about 1.8 billion years ago and the falls themselves are about 146 metres high, making it the sixth biggest waterfall in the world by width and a powerful force of nature. There is a lot to explore in this semi-desert area, such as hiking trails and a golf course nearby. The park is also home to various animals such as baboons, dassies, and antelope species like the Klipspringer. I have never seen anything like this before. This place is truly a marvel of nature.
