| Welcome to The place of Great Noise |
My
travels in the past 3 months have been very kind to me to take me to several South
African National Parks.
I
did the Kruger National Park and the Mapungubwe National Park in September with the
Vhembe Municipality as part of the Heritage week tour.
Last
week while in Cape Town I hiked up Lions head - 669 metres above sea level.
Lions head forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
I
love National Parks. As an animal lover, I can’t help be excited about seeing wild
animals at some of these parks also the heritage that is protected in some of
these parks is what no textbook will teach you or help you experience.

For
my second week in South Africa I am in the Northern Cape. As I make my mission
to discover the green Kalahari, I managed to visit the Augrabies Fall National
Park.
This
is where the Kalahari and Nama-Karoo desert meet and the Orange River flows.
This is where you can experience the Kokerboom Food and Wine Route.

Augrabies
means a place of great noise, referring to the thundering sound of the water
falling down the 56 metres rocky fall. For me, such beauty is something that I have
only witnessed from television or magazines. Augrabies beauty is magnificently breath-taking.
Looks like one of those places that you never dream you would visit. Even words
fail you when describing this beauty.

| The Falls |
Not
often I recommend places to visit with your other half to travel to, but this
place is it. This is the place where you come to be one with nature and just
listen to thundering water fall and as you get closer, get sprinkled by the
water.
***Did You Know: All the National
parks in Kwazulu Natal Province are ran and managed by the Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife
and not the South African National Parks. Hence I did not mention the
Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park earlier.
