Fish River Lodge

 
 

Description

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.

Twenty spacious chalets are positioned along the rim with sufficient distance between each other to ensure privacy and quiet at all times. Dry-packed stone walls cover the outer chalets and large windows offer light and views over the canyon whilst at night, guests can watch falling stars through the rooftop windows above. Each chalet has a separate shower, dressing facility, double basins, toilet and fan, whilst an additional outdoor shower offers a chance to cool down under the stars on warm nights. An outdoor 'bed' is available to guests who would like to sleep under the stars.

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. Drinks can be enjoyed in the indoor or outdoor bar area overlooking a swimming pool.

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.

Awesome place
Wally Bergmann, South Africa
16 April 2012
Eco-friendly resort situated right on the lip of the canyon. Good accommodation service and food. Away from the crowds with no other lights visible at night. Star-watchers paradise.
Wonderful

Despite it being only a one-day stay at the lodge, it was completely and utterly worth the drive in and out. The scenery is stunning, to say the least, and the food was very good. Ruth was very attentive, as were her colleagues. We would recommend the lodge as one of those places you have to stay at if in Namibia.
Amazing view
Dina Rai, South Africa

Our stay at Fish River Lodge was very good. We had a long journey to the lodge, and the road seemed never ending. However, we were welcomed very well by the lodge staff. They provided us with a welcome drink and complimentary tea. At dinner, the main course was beef. I do not eat beef, and told the waitress. She happily provided me with an alternative. Food was very good at the lodge. Though we were tired of the journey, it all paid off after looking at the view. Anyone who visits this ... more
Stunning location, highly recommended
Andy Froggatt, South Africa

After a 12 hour drive and one border crossing, we were shattered when we arrived, but the view when walking through to the pool area was stunning and uplifting. Well worth staying for a couple of nights, to give you time to explore with the different options that are made available to you on arrival. All rooms have a great view from the edge of the canyon.
