Kalahari Desert & Fish River Canyon Holidays

The Kalahari Desert offers an unforgettable landscape, from the umbrella shaped camel thorn trees, and quiver trees that look like they have decided to root skywards, to the precariously piled rocks of the Giant’s Playground. This is ancient home of the Sans people (also known as Bushmen), the first settlers of this territory, who traditionally lived and hunted in the desert.

To the south, the impressive Fish River Canyon boasts stunning views and excellent hiking, particularly at sunrise or sunset when the rocks take on beautiful hues of deep orange and red. This awe-inspiring, 100 mile long canyon, is an impressive sight to behold. Local legend says the canyon was created by the lash of a dragon’s tail; whether it was this or the more prosaic explanation – erosion by the Fish River – the resulting ravine is breathtaking.
