Augrabies Fall National Park in the Northern Cape
The Augrabies National Park is looking to reinvent itself as it celebrates it half century as part of South African National Parks. While people stream to the park when it's in flood, it's normally quiet the rest of the time. Augrabies is now catering for adrenaline junkies - using it's rugged hills, and challenging veld as bait. But it's still a place where you can unwind and spend time with your family, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Ulrich Hendriks and cameraperson, Jabu Oa Afrika visited Augrabies and filed this report.

Port Nolloth - January 2019
Port Nolloth is a town and small domestic seaport in the Namaqualand region on the northwestern coast of South Africa, 144 kilometres northwest of Springbok.
The port was previously a transshipment point for copper from the Okiep mines, and diamonds from the Namaqua coast. Since the 1970s the principal seagoing activities have been fishing and small-vessel tourism. Today the town is a sleepy commercial hub with a number of holiday homes and a caravan park at the adjacent McDougalls Bay. It is also a gateway to the Richtersveld National Park, located 160 kilometres to the north along the Orange River.
