The Fish River Canyon is the second largest canyon in the world and the largest in Africa, just after the Blyde Canyon in South Africa as well as the second most visited tourist attraction in Namibia.  It is located in the South of the country and you will stop off there on route from South Africa to Namibia on our Overland Truck Tours.

It features a gigantic ravine, in total about 100 miles (160 km) long, up to 27 km wide and in places almost 550 metres deep.

The fish river canyon along with many other attractions in Namibia, tend to make you feel very small indeed, just because the huge scale of the place is truly awe inspiring.
