Fish River Canyon Accommodation
The Fish River Canyon in southern Namibia is the largest canyon in Africa and the second largest in the world. Carved over millions of years, its immense scale and dramatic rock formations create a breathtaking panorama. While wildlife viewing is limited to hardy desert species like klipspringer and rock dassie, the primary draw is the awe-inspiring geological spectacle. Hiking the canyon rim or undertaking multi-day treks into its depths are popular activities, offering unparalleled solitude and rugged beauty.

Canyon Village
Quiver trees, Nama culture, rugged landscape, and impressive sweeping rock formations characterize Canyon Village. Forty-two stone-and-thatch chalets are positioned in a horseshoe design around a celebration of young quiver trees and a sprawling thatched central area, bedecked with bougainvillea, serving as a restaurant, bar, lounge, and reception. Homely touches, such as an ox-wagon with hundreds of years of history and a well-preserved horse cart amongst the boulders in the cozy bar, bring warmth and intrigue to this lodge, making it an ideal base to explore the Fish River Canyon, Namibia's star attraction, only 16 kilometers away from Hobas, the main viewing point.
