Fish River Canyon

Africa's largest gorge and the second largest in the world (after the Grand Canyon), Fish River Canyon is a 500-million-year-old canyon formed not only by the Fish River, but by earth crust movement that caused an existing valley floor to collapse. This creates a jaw-dropping 500m drop seemingly out of nowhere and makes for stunning photography.

For the more adventurous, the 4-day Fish River Hiking Trail is an exhausting but rewarding hiking trail open from May to September to those fit enough to handle it.
