The Fish River Canyon is an immense, breathtaking natural wonder in southern Namibia.
Carved over millions of years by Namibia’s longest river, the Fish River Canyon is Africa’s largest canyon and the second largest in the world. Located in the dramatic, rugged landscapes of the far south, this immense geological marvel is breathtaking in its scale, plunging nearly 550 metres deep. Whether you are a keen trekker looking to tackle the legendary multi-day hiking trail or simply want to stand at the rim’s edge and look out in absolute awe, it is an unforgettable highlight of any Namibian holiday.
Fish River Canyon is the largest canyon in Africa, and it is the second most visited tourist attraction in Southern Namibia. During the late summer months the canyon floods, however, throughout the rest of the year it is reduced to smaller pools of water, including the hot springs of Ai-Ais resort at the lower end of the canyon. The Fish River Canyon hiking trails are the most popular trails in Southern Africa, drawing visitors from all of the work to face the thrilling descent over steep, rugged terrain. For a more relaxing experience however, visitors can enjoy the hot springs that are rich with sulphur, chloride and fluoride and therefore perfect for healing achy joints after a daring canyon hike.
Fish River Canyon is part of a wider selection of NAMIBIA holidays and accommodation.
