About this route

An undulating return ride on dirt and gravel from Augrabies Main Camp, threading past Moon Rock, Ararat and Oranjekom viewpoints high above the granite gorge where the Orange River roars over Augrabies Falls. Sandy flats and corrugated district roads cross the Green Kalahari, with searing 40C summer heat making an early start essential.
