Fish River Canyon

Located in the southern Namibia near the South African border, Fish River Canyon Park is home to the second largest gorge in the world; only the Grand Canyon is larger. The dramatic gorge is a sheer drop from the vast desert plains. The fantastic landscape of the picturesque canyon provides an excellent venue for hiking, which is a popular activity at the park.

Mountain zebra, baboons and ground squirrels are among the wildlife found here, while the unique flora includes the quiver tree and other drought-resistant succulent plants.
