The Fish River Canyon is peaceful and quiet far from cities. Mostly birds singing and wind blowing just around you. This suits natural relaxation with no artificial additions. For thousands of years, this was home to Nama and Khoisan people whose ancient rock paintings still remain within these gorges. Fish River Canyon National Park protects the canyon’s nature plus animals around it including oryxes, kudus zebras and birds of prey

Every May sees Fish River Canyon Festival taking place there to mark its splendour that comes with music, dance, crafts and horse racing among other activities so as to familiarize oneself with locals who have rich cultural diversity.
