The Village Is The Perfect Place To Relax And Take In The Beauty That Surrounds The Fish River Canyon

Canyon Village is a lovely lodge located in the Fish River area of southern Namibia. The lodge is set in a horse-shoe design around a celebration of young quiver trees and the sprawling thatched central area, which serves as a restaurant, bar, lounge, curio shop and reception.

The restaurant depicts the history of southern Namibia through murals on the wall, and a vibrant depiction of life in the golden time of missions adorns the reception area wall.

A well-preserved horse cart has been placed amongst the boulders in the cosy bar, and an ox wagon with hundreds of years of history etched into its wood stands in the buffet area.

The lodge offers guests plenty of opportunities to take walks through the rocky hills and enjoy stunning views of the Gondwana Canyon Park. There are also numerous mapped trails for hiking and cycling, as well as opportunities for fishing, bird watching and desert photography.
