Fish River Canyon in Namibia πŸŒ΅πŸŒ…

Francois Lebrun • 17 October 2024

We've arrived at Fish River Canyon, our second stop in Namibia. 


The Fish River Canyon is the second largest canyon in the world and the size is jaw-dropping. We visited the canyon during golden hour around sunset and what an incredible sight it was! πŸŒ…πŸ˜


During our visit to the canyon we enjoyed a few minutes of silence to take in the vast openness and beauty this area beholds as the sun set over the canyon walls. 


While we drove home from the canyon we saw dassies sunbathing on the rocks and a few Oryx (large antelope species) next to the road - which the meat-eaters among us tried for dinner that night.🐾🌡


πŸŽ‚πŸ€© To celebrate Francois' birthday today, we enjoyed an 8km morning hike before the desert heat kicks in. What a magical place to celebrate a birthday on The Travel Café team! 


Up next is the coastal town of Luderitz, 420km North East and the ghost town of Kolmanskop.
