Overview

Canyon Village is one of a few places to stay as part of the Fish River Canyon experience in Namibia, and offers a unique cultural experience as well as game-spotting activities for all.

With 42 rooms available, Canyon Village is the largest site of the three Fish River Canyon camps. There are 2 single rooms, 28 twin rooms, and 2 rooms for those with restricted accessibility. Each room comes with its own private veranda, and features en-suite facilities.

The main lodge features a communal swimming pool, restaurant, and bar, and is dripping with artefacts and traditions from local Nama culture. A one-hundred year old ox-wagon sits in the buffet area and a preserved horse cart rests amongst the boulders in the bar. Staff members wear traditional patchwork dress and headdresses here, bringing in the spirit of the south and the Nama people, one of the first peoples of southern Africa.

Situated on the privately-owned Gondwana Canyon Park, Canyon Village provides a great base from which to go out and explore Fish River Canyon. As with its sister lodges, Canyon Lodge offers guests the chance to go on unguided morning hikes, guided sunset walks, and take Canyon and scenic drives.

The plains animals are visible on the 4x4 Wildebeest Drive between Canyon Village/Lodge and Roadhouse. Enjoy a slow meander in the morning watching zebra, wildebeest, springbok and gemsbok, and include a stop at the Roadhouse for lunch before circling back.

This is a good place for families to visit. There are 4 family rooms available. Children of all ages are welcome at Canyon Village. Children staying at Canyon Village can participate in a number of activities, from horse-riding to scenic nature drives.

  • We had an amazing experience - absolutely loved it.
    Mohamed and Said were great and very patient especially with me going downhill - was quite nervous about the scree slopes and paths.

    Will be a trip we remember forever

  • Trip was great and all the arrangements were excellent so thank you for all the help!

    Drivers and transfers were all good - on time and very good service on each trip.

    Accommodation was lovely - Douar Samra was amazing (weather could have been better but lovely regardless). Riad in Marrakesh was also great!

    All in all a great trip and we loved the variety of the mountains, Marrakesh and the coast.

    Thanks you once again!
