Fish River Canyon is the second-largest canyon in the world (after the Grand Canyon) and one of Africa's most spectacular natural wonders. This 5-day, 85-kilometre hiking trail through the canyon floor is one of the great multi-day hikes on Earth.
The trail descends into the canyon via a steep chain-ladder and follows the Fish River through a landscape of towering cliffs, hot springs, and sandy riverbeds. Campsites are basic — you carry everything and sleep under the stars.
This is a wilderness experience in its purest form — no luxury, no cellphone signal, just you and one of nature's greatest masterpieces.
