Namibia | A trip to Fish River Canyon

Its a drive of 644 km if you start from Windhoek or 419 Km if you start from Lüderitz and in all honesty its worth every kilometer but its even better if you can catch sunset and sunrise at the Canyon or go for the Multi day hike through the Canyon.

The Fish River Canyon is located in the south of Namibia. It is the largest canyon in Africa, as well as the second most visited tourist attraction in Namibia.. It features a gigantic ravine, in total about 161 kilometres (100 mi) long, up to 27 km wide and in places almost 550 meters deep.

The Fish River is the longest interior river in Namibia. It cuts deep into the plateau which is today dry, stony and sparsely covered with hardy drought-resistant plants. The river flows intermittently, usually flooding in late summer; the rest of the year it becomes a chain of long narrow pools. At the lower end of the Fish River Canyon, the hot springs resort of ǀAi-ǀAis is situated.

Public view points are near Hobas, a camp site 70 km north of ǀAi-ǀAis.
