/Ai/Ais-Richtersveld April 2015
Posted: Sat Oct 17, 2015 3:47 pm
End of March and in April we travelled more than 1700 km to visit three National Parks in SA in the arid regions. Our journey took us from our home in Mpumalanga to the most north-western corner of our country at the mouth of the Orange river and back with a detour to Kgalagadi Transfrontier park. We crossed over SA borders into Namibia at Sendelingsdrift on a pontoon and at Rietfontein back to South Africa for the last leg at Kgalagadi.
Our trip took us to the following parks and places:
Augrabies Falls NP - first stop
Port Nolloth and McDougall's Bay - drive pass
/Ai / Ais-Richtersveld Transfrontier park (both sides) - 4 days
Southern Namibia - 1 day
Kgalagadi Transfrontier park - 7 days
Augrabies Falls NP: Day 1 (28 March 2015)
Our first overnight stop was at Augrabies at The Falls Guest House outside the park. The park is about 128 km south of Upington and we reached Augrabies late afternoon with still enough time for a quick day trip to see the falls. We still wanted to visit the park the next morning, but due to late opening time for day visitors rather decided to leave early reaching our next stop, Sendlingsdrift not too late. That was a good move because after 4 pm the fuel station closes and you can then only fill up after 8 am.

When planning a visit rather book for a 2 night stay and stay within the park to capture the beautiful sunsets / sunrise and to explore the game driving section.
The Falls:
Late afternoon at Ararat Lookout
Klipspringers near Ararat Lookout:
End of Day 1.
