Fish River Lodge Fish River Canyon - Namibia
Email
Fish River Lodge Reservations: fishRiverLodge@madbookings.com
Fish River Lodge in southern Namibia is the only lodge perched
directly on the rim of the Fish River Canyon offering you breathtaking
views of the canyon from sunrise to sunset.
Set in a grove of ancient Quiver trees, the lodge has been carefully
designed to echo the terraced and rugged terrain as well as the
colours and textures of the spectacular canyon landscape.
The interior is a blend of classic and contemporary design and furnishings
with many accessories made by San and Nama communities whose ancestors
once roamed the land.
Accommodation is available in economy, standard and deluxe chalets
as well as camping sites.
The Chalets have en-suite bathrooms and you can view the canyon
from there.
20 spacious chalets are positioned along the rim with sufficient
distance from 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 roof top 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.
