Fish River Lodge in southern Namibia is the only lodge perched directly on the rim of the Fish River Canyon offering guests breathtaking views of the canyon from sunrise to sunset. Experience first hand the geological forces that unfolded 300 million years ago, when the Fish River began to etch its way through hard quartzite forming a Canyon 90 kilometres long, 549 metres deep and 28 kilometres wide in some places, making it the world's second largest Canyon. Set in a grove of ancient Quiver trees (Aloe dichotoma), the Lodge has been carefully designed to echo the terraced and rugged terrain as well as the colors and textures of the landscape thereby offering guests a pleasant change from the typical 'safari' type lodge found elsewhere in Africa.
The Lodge is situated on the western rim of the Canyon with views over the deepest part of the Canyon and towards the distant hills in the east. Watching the full moon rise over the Canyon as the sun sets in the West is one of nature's magic moments only experienced by guests staying at Fish River Lodge. The main Lodge caters for indoor and outdoor living given the extremes of weather that can be experienced throughout the year. Good home-cooked food with stylish touches is served on glowing handcrafted tables from reclaimed wood next to crackling fires in winter or outside on the deck in summer. During the day there are many activities to participate in, including Canyon drives, Canyon hikes, Scenic drives and Sundowners.
