Fish River Lodge
The lodge boasts spectacular views of the canyon from every angle, including its nineteen chalets set along the rim with ample space between them for privacy. Each chalet features stone walls, large windows, elegant décor, and fans for comfort, as well as spacious indoor and outdoor showers, complimentary toiletries, and practical storage space with a safe for valuables.
Private patios and decks offer the perfect setting to enjoy the scenery, meditate, or relax with a drink. At night, guests can gaze at the stars through rooftop windows or even request to sleep under the open sky, completing a tranquil and luxurious experience close to nature.
Location
The only lodge directly on the rim of the renowned Fish River Canyon, a must-see attraction in Namibia, Fish River Lodge provides awe-inspiring vistas that span from sunrise to sunset. With its strategic location, guests can marvel at the breath-taking views of the canyon directly from the lodge.
The main lodge provides a blend of unique decor, exceptional service, and a comfortable ambiance in the lounge, bar, and restaurant area. Guests can also enjoy the wrap-around decks and a pool, creating a perfect setting for relaxation. Meals are served three times a day, with the added pleasure of afternoon tea and homemade cake.
The surrounding landscape on the western side of the canyon is vast, empty, and ancient. This makes it an ideal setting for those seeking solitude and thrilling adventures alike. Immerse yourself in the grandeur of the canyon through exhilarating activities such as hiking, guided safaris, or mountain biking. Experiencing a trip into this geological marvel, which has stood for over 500 million years, promises an unforgettable experience.
Experiences
The 45,000-hectare Canyon Nature Park serves as a pristine haven for Karoo succulent flora and indigenous wildlife. Scenic hiking and cycling trails wind their way along and into the depths of the canyon, where perennial water holes and tranquil rock pools beckon a diverse array of native fauna. Indulge in a rejuvenating massage within the seclusion of your our massage parlour, providing solace to weary muscles after an adventurous day of canyon exploration.
A journey to this remarkable location will restore peace and tranquillity to your soul, and if you dare to take on the Rim to River Hike, a sense of accomplishment. All the while, learning about the thriving life in this arid environment will broaden your perspective and deepen your appreciation for its resilience.
An excursion to Fish River Lodge will ensure you depart with a light heart and a well-rested soul while acquiring a wealth of knowledge about this arid landscape.
Adventures
The best way to experience the canyon’s grandeur is through a guided hiking adventure between April and September, complete with prepared camps offering hearty meals and drinks each evening.
Year-round, visitors can opt for the Rim to River cycling adventure or enjoy shorter guided fat-bike rides from the lodge. For a more relaxed experience, scenic drives—either half-day or full-day—reveal the canyon’s geological wonders and wildlife. Guests can also enjoy a picnic lunch and a swim in natural rock pools.
Whether hiking, biking, or simply unwinding, a stay at the canyon’s edge promises an unforgettable escape.
