Due to its elaborate décor Canyon Roadhouse has acquired a sort of cult status in Namibia: the good old days of the automobile are celebrated in the theme restaurant and bar. Enjoy a slice of our legendary Amarula cheesecake among coachwork arranged with loving care. The geology, flora, fauna and history of the area are explained on display boards at the Canyon Information Centre. Situated directly on the road to the Fish River Canyon, 14 km from the gate to the viewing points, Canyon Roadhouse offers 24 immaculate en-suite rooms with air conditioning, a swimming pool and a petrol station.

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.
