Augrabies Falls is a dramatic cascade on the Orange River in the arid Northern Cape province of South Africa.

The main fall drops approximately 56 metres (184 feet) where the river crosses a resistant granite plateau, plunging into a gorge whose walls rise nearly 150 metres above the plunge pool below.

Some sources cite a height of around 146 metres, but that figure refers to the full depth of the canyon, not the falls themselves.

At low water, roughly 95 percent of the Orange River's flow pours over the main drop; in flood, the canyon fills dramatically and up to 19 separate subsidiary waterfalls spill into an 18-kilometre ravine.

Since 1966 the falls have been protected within Augrabies Falls National Park, set in a rugged, semi-desert landscape in the Northern Cape.
