Places to See and Stay: Fish River Canyon - Namibia

Visit Southern Namibia

Fish River Canyon, Namibia

In the far south of the country the Fish River Canyon, second only to the Grand Canyon in size, is spectacular and deserted. At its base, the Fish River twists and turns, its clear water tumbling over rocks. We recommend taking an early morning ramble along the canyon where the bark of baboons echoes around the rocks and klipspringers dart up gullies. The view from the top is breathtaking. There are no shops or kiosks here, just a bench in the shade. On a busy day there might be one other person visiting it, thus the chances of finding a rock to sit on and having the view to yourself are high.
