Fish River Canyon in southern Namibia is the largest canyon in Africa and the second largest in the world after the Grand Canyon, stretching 160 kilometres in length and reaching 550 metres in depth. The rim viewpoints near Hobas offer sweeping panoramas of the sinuous river far below. The 87-kilometre hiking trail through the canyon is among the most demanding multi-day walks in southern Africa and is only open during the cooler winter months.
