Lovely Lodge on the Canyon Rim
Good place to experience the Fish River Canyon - spectacular views, beautiful rim edge walks, especially at sunset or sunrise with the stunning quiver trees and the Canyon in the soft light. We did the canyon drive - very slow and bumpy, but a good experience and also had a lovely swim at the bottom in the rock pools

Incredible Property in a great location
This place is nothing short of amazing - panoramic views of Fish River Gorge from your bed, beautifully-designed rooms, and great food. This property is in the middle of nowhere, but don't let that deter you - the roads are well signed and in good condition, and you travel through some spectacularly rugged country.

Amazing Stay
We were lucky to visit this exquisite lodge. Called in the morning and had a confirmed booking for three couples. The rates were fantastic and we had an added Game drive down into the canyon on our stay. The food was tasty and well presented. Thank you to the amazing staff and for the earplugs as the wind can really get noisy at night

How to get there
Fish River Lodge is situated on the rim of the Fish River Canyon so please expect a long but interesting drive. Traversing this wild and rugged landscape will provide an introduction to the extreme beauty you will experience once you arrive at the lodge.
The lodge access road is off the D463, a gravel road linking the B4 in the north and the C13 in the west. The journey time from the B4 to the lodge will be approximately 2 hours and this is the recommended route. The D463 from the C13 is a 4x4 route only and will take approximately 2.5 hours. The D463 feels like it lasts forever, but please keep going until you get to the Canyon Nature Park and Fish River Lodge signs. You will pass through several closed gates; please reclose them after you.
The access road to the lodge when you turn off the D463 is an adventurous 19km through river beds and across open plains edged with mountains, where you may glimpse Kudu and Ostrich in the dry river beds. After 5km on this track you will pass through two farm houses; follow the small signs to the lodge which is a further 14km.
Please do not take the C12 towards the Fish River Canyon as you will end up on the eastern side of the canyon and there are no roads across it!
Please leave plenty of time for your journey so you can enjoy the drive and arrive in daylight to get the maximum benefit from your stay on the edge of eternity.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can drive to the Lodge in a sedan car. The last 20 km should be driven slowly. If you are not sure of the conditions of the road in the rainy season in summer, please phone the lodge beforehand for an update. Pick-ups from certain points can be arranged.
There are modest wire rope barriers in front of each chalet and on the deck of the lodge. Since the rim of the canyon is less than 10 m away, small children will need parental supervision at all times.
