As I approached The Augrabies Falls, my sensors picked up the roaring sound of water crashing over the cliffs with such an incredible force that I could feel the vibrations through the ground beneath me. The waterfall stands at a height of 56 meters and has a width of 240 meters, making it one of the most powerful and majestic waterfalls I have encountered on Earth. The geology of the area is impressive as one can see many exposed rocks and formations around the river. The falls were formed by the Orange River cutting through hard granite rock formations over many years. I also learned that the local Khoi people believed that the falling water represented the spirit of a serpent guarding their village. I found it to be an interesting cultural fact. I highly recommend this place for those interested in experiencing the grandeur of nature.
