Summary

Description
English: The Orange River carves through a rugged, spectacular landscape, creating a ribbon of green through arid ochres, reds and tans. The river rises in the Drakensburg Mountains near Lesotho’s border then flows westward more than 2,000 km (1,242 mi) through South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana before reaching the Atlantic Ocean.
