Second in size only to the Grand Canyon, Namibia’s Fish River Canyon is a breathtaking sight. Adventurers can embark on a multi-day hike through the canyon (permits required) during the dry winter months. The hike is challenging but incredibly rewarding, with hot springs, towering cliffs, and lunar-like scenery. For those not hiking, viewpoints near Hobas offer panoramic views. Combine your visit with a stay at nearby Ai-Ais hot springs for a well-earned soak.
