The Fish River Canyon Hike is a demanding hike through the Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon in the world. Hiking is restricted to 30 hikers per day in the winter months between the 1st May and 15th September.
In the 2024 hiking season, the canyon was in the grips of a two year drought, with limited water in the canyon, and the water that was available was extremely mineralized for evaporation, forcing the Namibian Wildlife Resorts authorities to set up water points at three locations in the canyon. Despite this, in the first week of May, hikers still had daily stages of up to 20Km between water points, with most perennial pools totally dry.
