If you have ever wanted to do the Fish River Canyon Hike, then this is the perfect opportunity.

Fish River Canyon Hike

In celebration of 20 years of offering guided hiking tours, we have booked on the iconic Fish River Canyon hiking trail in Namibia.

Due to the heat of the region, the trail is only open for hiking from the 1st May to the end of September each year. To mark the launch of Garden Route Trail in May 2004, we have secured 10 spaces for the Fish River Canyon trail, starting on the 1st May 2024.

The ethos of the hike will be a relaxed hike, as a group of hikers that enjoy the simplicity of wild hiking in pristine environments. Starting on the 1st of May will also mean that we will be starting the 2024 season of hikes in the canyon.

If you are interested in joining Mark on this hike, send an email for more details on [email protected]
