DAY 4
Destination: Fish River - Namib
……………………………………………………………………………
After breakfast we drive to the Fish River Canyon.
The Fish River Canyon is the second largest canyon
in the world. Set in a harsh, stony plain scantily
covered with drought resistant succulents and the
distinctive quiver tree or kokerboom, the canyon
represents a spectacular natural phenomenon which
took hundreds of millions of years to evolve into its
current shape. While the full length of the canyon is
161 km, the most spectacular section is the 56 km
long stretch which lies between the northernmost and
southernmost viewpoints. Baboons, rock dassie’s,
ground squirrel’s and klipspringer are commonly
sighted in the canyon.
After this visit we depart via Bethanie and
Helmeringhausen to the Lodge.
