Fish River Lodge
Fish River Canyon3:00 from Keetmanshoop
The Fish River Lodge is the only lodge situated directly on the edge of Namibia's Fish River Canyon, with breath taking views over the canyon from sunrise to sunset.
The Lodge is uniquely designed with dry-packed stone walls and large windows through which to contemplate 300 million years of geological history. The 45 000 hectare private reserve use to be farmland but, was reclaimed and rehabilitated under the management of the Canyon Nature Park to protect its vulnerable ecosystem of Karoo succulents and wildlife that evolved over millennia and adapted to survive amongst the rocks and on the plateau of the canyon. Incredible hiking trails meander down into the heart of the canyon affording guests spectacular scenery combined with 75-km river frontage made up of permanent water holes and rock pools that attract Hartman's Zebra, Kudu; Oryx; Springbok and many other smaller wildlife such as Fish Eagle's that thrive on the abundant fish swimming in the canyons life.
