South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that the Dassie Interpretative Trail and Gorge Trail at Augrabies Falls National Park are temporarily closed for essential maintenance.
- The Dassie Interpretative Trail is a scenic loop that offers close-up views of local wildlife, particularly rock hyrax (dassies), and provides interpretative signage about the park’s unique flora and fauna.
- The Gorge Trail takes hikers along the dramatic edge of the Orange River gorge, showcasing breathtaking views of the falls and the surrounding rugged landscape.
Visitors are encouraged to explore other park highlights, including viewpoints, picnic areas, and the main falls promenade, while SANParks works to maintain and enhance these key hiking routes. We will provide updates; travellers are advised to check trail conditions before planning their visit.
