Glamping on the Edge of Eternity

In 2020 Journeys Namibia introduced its latest additions to the spectacularly situated Fish River Lodge: Camp Edge and Camp Eternity are specifically aimed at hikers and glampers.

The two new camps are located 26 and 8.2 km respectively from the lodge, inside the 45 000 hectare Canyon Nature Park and its 70 km Fish River Canyon frontage. Like Fish River Lodge, both camps were built right on the edge of the western side of the canyon, each with spectacular views.

Accommodation at the camps consists of bow tents set up in stone gabion shelters to protect against the harsh winds which are regularly experienced along the rim. Each gabion, and also the main structure, is built from the natural stones found in the area. Thus, the camps blend into the surroundings perfectly.

The camps boast all the luxuries and amenities associated with glamping, yet they leave a low footprint on their sensitive environment. Even though winds can be severe at times, it is without doubt an unforgettable experience to have a sundowner on the camps’ decks overlooking the extraordinary Fish River Canyon.

Participating in a guided hike or drive into the 550 metre depths of the canyon is highly recommended and an excellent way to get intimately acquainted with the many different layers of rock and the history of this 500-million-year-old masterpiece of geology. The lodge’s experienced guides are well-versed in the formation of the canyon and they are also a mine of information on the fascinating local fauna and flora.

A sojourn at any of Fish River Lodge’s establishments is bound to be a truly unrivalled experience.
