Whether it's the world's oldest desert, the Namib or the Quiver Tree Forest, Namibia in Southern Africa is home to some truly great tourist destinations. The longest river in the country—the Fish River—has carved out the continent's largest canyon over millions of years. Winding through weathered layers of gneiss and dolomite rocks, the Fish River Canyon is around 160 kilometres long and about 548 metres deep. This popular site attracts adventure seekers with its hiking trail, which runs for 90 kilometres and the Fish River Canyon Ultra Marathon. Moreover, with Hartmann's mountain zebras, klipspringers and Eastern rock elephant shrews, the canyon is teeming with creatures big and small. So, whether you are there for hiking, trekking, camping or just soaking in the scenery, one thing's for sure: Fish River Canyon is a catch you won't soon forget.
