Situated about 6 km from Canyon Lodge at the foot of picturesque dolerite hills, Canyon Mountain Camp is a real idyll for the self-catering traveller. The building, shaped like a horseshoe, houses 8 en-suite rooms plus a communal kitchen and dining room. The covered grill area is a pleasant meeting place at the end of an eventful day. Hikers also like to spend the night at Mountain Camp before or after their hiking tour through nearby Fish River Canyon (transfers possible on request). Keys to the camp are to be obtained at the reception of the Canyon Lodge. They can use the swimming pool close to the lodge and are most welcome at the restaurant and bar as well.
The Nama Karoo: yellow flowers of quiver trees against the blue sky at the second largest canyon on earth. With an area of 1,260 km² Gondwana Canyon Park is the largest and oldest nature reserve of the Gondwana Collection. Nowhere else in southern Namibia are animals found in similar numbers and diversity. Species which once used to roam the area, like hartebeest, Burchell‘s zebra, mountain zebra and ostrich are finally back again. Explore the natural diversity of the Nama Karoo Desert – on foot or by car.
