Canyon Village

Discover the Beauty of Namibia

Overview

Canyon Village, nestled in the captivating landscape of southern Namibia, offers a unique blend of quiver trees, rich Nama culture, and a rugged terrain dominated by an impressive sweeping rock formation. The stone-and-thatch chalets form a horseshoe design around a vibrant celebration of young quiver trees. The central area, adorned with bougainvillea, serves as a multifunctional space housing the restaurant, bar, lounge, and reception. With the motto “Take a walk on the South’s side,” this Fish River Canyon lodge beckons visitors to explore its enchanting surroundings.

The restaurant’s walls depict the history of southern Namibia through murals, while a lively rendition of life during the golden era of missions adorns the reception area. Unique historical artefacts, including an ox-wagon and a well-preserved horse cart, add character to the buffet area and bar, blending seamlessly with the natural boulders.

At the entrance, guests are invited to honour the ancient Nama deity, Haitsi Aibeb, seeking blessings for their journey. The staff proudly wears traditional patchwork dress and headdresses, embodying the spirit of the south and the Nama people, renowned for their storytelling and vibrant traditions. Canyon Village’s proximity to the Fish River Canyon, Namibia’s star attraction just twenty kilometres away, makes it an ideal base for exploration. Join a guided excursion to canyon viewpoints for inspiring perspectives or embark on a 3-4 day Canyon Trail for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, marvelling at the Earth’s masterpiece carved over millennia.
