NAMIBIA TREK: FISH RIVER CANYON
15 days
Tripcode: TZN
A two-week trekking trip through the Namib Desert, Fish River
Canyon, towering sand dunes at Sossusvlei and much more
An exciting itinerary comprising some of the most beautiful scenery
of one of the world's most fascinating and rewarding countries,
Namibia. Concentrating on the area south of Windhoek, we walk in
the magnificent Naukluft Mountains, through the sand dunes of the
Namib Desert, and past lonely quiver trees and unique wildlife.
However, perhaps the highlight of the trip is the spectacular Fish
River Canyon hiking trail; cutting through the arid landscape and
providing a glimpse into a raw, yet magical wilderness. Along its
85km length, the trail provides a consistently exhilarating backdrop,
passing plunging gullies and flying buttresses glowing pink and
yellow in the changing light.
