Augrabies Backpackers is the legendary base of a whole generation of river and desert adventure people. We can arrange guided half-day river rafting trips on the Lower Orange River and offer hot air-balloon rides over the Kalahari Desert. Lounge in the shade, take a dip in the rustic "splash pool" and enjoy the seasonal organic fruit. One thing is certain, one night is never enough. Accommodation is offered in 4 rooms, sleeping up to 11 guests. Laundry services are also available for guests' convenience.We are situated just 10 km from the Augrabies Falls National Park, making it an excellent base from which to explore the area. Activities include various day hikes and walks as well as a portion directly alongside the middle gorge.

AUGRABIES BACKPACKERS REVIEWS (68 %) Very relaxing by Robert Newman, South Africa 08 July 2013 We found this venue very relaxing and the owner very accommodating. I will visit this place anytime again. Good experience by Karin Basson, South Africa 31 August 2013 My 1st time at a backpackers - good experience. Friendly staff, everything one needs, clean. Definitely NOT for the hoity-toity. Disappointing! by Christina Derlat 02 June 2017 Place does not look like the pictures at all! The bathrooms were freshly renovated but the rooms itself are still under construction. No wall plaster, no floors, no proper sealing (yet), the bedside table lamps don't even have shades. Curtains broken. Dead moths and spiders on the walls.
Cupboard in our room was full with stuff. The matrasses are old and all you feel is the frame of the bed, bedlinen have holes and everything just feels damp. The kitchen is well equipped but was dirty (e.g. spiderwebs in scoop).
We left earlier as planned and sent feedback to the owner with request to refund our money. No response. Feels like he just wanted to make some easy money no matter what.
Would have been a different story if we had been aware of the refurbishment and would have been charged less. Very disappointing!
The only good thing about this place is the manager Malcolm and the cats and dogs. Great rooms, extremely helpful staff by Jan Dirix 18 September 2017 Rooms are amongst the nicest I have ever had in a backpackers, even up to hotel standard. Environment is rustic, and Malcolm and Ursula went out of their way to help us around. Would definitely recommend. The hosts were amazing by Tyson Clark 21 March 2018 Everything was great and the hosts were very hospitible Best Sho't Left by Gcobisa Soci 31 March 2018 Thanx Coco and family for a weekend getaway stay filled with love, laughter and awesome memories. Your humility and customer service was top class ?.
The cherry on top was the horse riding experience, it was my first time and was breath-taking. Camping Site by Desmond, Johnny Adams 10 April 2018 Facilities rating : 3 our of 10. Single ablution facility. Both man and woman use it. Power pionts not working. Will not recommend camp site to my friends. AUGRABIES BACKPACKERS LOCATION
