The Fish River Canyon is found in the flat plains of Southern Namibia and is the second largest canyon in the world. It is 161km long, up to 27km wide and in some parts 550m deep.

The Fish River that carved this mighty canyon, is now a mere trickle on the bottom and for most of the year is nothing more than a series of small pools. The Fish River Canyon is a popular hiking destination.

Treks into the canyon can only take place in the winter months between May and October and cover an arduous 86kms over 5 days. The hikes start from the Hobas viewing point and end at the southern tip where you will find the Ais-Ais hot springs.
