奥赫拉比斯瀑布国家公园位于奥赫拉比斯瀑布附近,距南非北开普省乌平通西部约120km。正式成立于1966年。

奥赫拉比斯瀑布国家公园占地面积为820km²,沿着奥兰治河延伸。该区极其贫瘠。瀑布高约60m,当河流泛滥时,瀑布令人叹为观止。瀑布下的峡谷平均深约240m,长18km。峡谷是一个花岗岩基石腐蚀的典型样本。

原始科伊科伊人称瀑布为“安科尔比斯”,意思是“巨大噪音之地”。而后在此定居的切克波尔人将它命名为“奥赫拉比斯(Augrabies)”,有时也写成“Aughrabies”。

沿着奥兰治河蕴藏着丰富的冲积钻石,传说在响声如雷的瀑布脚下,受侵蚀的花岗岩漩涡孔是世界上最大的钻石储藏地。

公园里最具特色的植物是巨型芦荟(二歧芦荟),当地称为箭树或科克布姆树。它极为适应纳马-卡鲁干燥的半沙漠岩石环境,并能经受极端温度和贫瘠的土地。箭树长成后高5m,因布什曼人用它柔软的枝条制作箭鞘而得名。外形引人注目的箭树是北开普这一地区的典型景观。冬季,当箭树开花时,成群的鸟就会被它丰富的花蜜吸引而来,狒狒也会撕裂花朵获得花蜜。

公园显著的地表是月岩,是一块剥落性圆顶,长约700米,宽100米,高30米。[1]
