Fish River Canyon Trips & Tours

Hike across the chasms, admire the view and discover the history behind the geographical masterpiece.

Grand Canyon, eat your heart out… there’s nothing on earth quite like Namibia’s Fish River Canyon. Taking geography to the extreme, the canyon measures a staggering 160km in length, 27kms wide and reaches a dramatic 550 m depth in the inner canyon. At the base, the Fish River itself winds a serpentine route through crumbling rocks, plunging gullies and ancient chasms. It’s no exaggeration to say that this is possibly some of the harshest terrain on the continent and hiking is demanding yet mind-blowingly rewarding. Forming part of the Ai-Ais National Park, a trans-frontier conservation area that’s home to klipspringer, zebra and a multitude of baboons, this is a canyon that’s like no other.

What to do in Fish River Canyon

As the second largest canyon in the world, the opportunities for hiking are endless, whether you enjoy an enthralling view from the top of the canyon or set out to explore its depths. Along the way, keep your eyes peeled for rare mountain zebra, klipspringer, oryx and kudu, as well as black eagles as they ride the thermal updrafts. If you have the chance, taking a dip in the Ai-Ais Hot Springs is a real treat!
