Canyon Village - Namibia

Lodges near the Fish River Canyon

The Cañon Village sits picturesquely at the foot of a sweeping rock face in Gondwana Cañon Park. The lodge consists of 21 comfortable chalets (42 rooms) in the Cape-Dutch style and a thatched restaurant of generous proportions are grouped together to form a little hamlet. A rural atmosphere also prevails in the restaurant building which sports a coffee shop and a rustic bar between massive granite boulders.

Namibian artists have adorned the walls of the restaurant and the chalets with murals depicting the daily life of the Bondelswart Nama, the original inhabitants of this area. The evening buffet consists of several meat dishes, fresh vegetables and a choice of salads. Meat and sausages, yoghurt and cheese, vegetables and fruit allcome fresh from the Canyon Village self-sufficiency centre which runs a greenhouse, cheese dairy, butchery and smokehouse.

On arrival Luggage and Suitcase, the donkeys will welcome you and happily deliver your luggage to your chalet. And enjoy a break at the 'Pool with a View' – a view of the virtually endless plain of Gondwana Cañon Park.

The Canon Village offers easy access to the Fish River Canyon in Namibia
