Fish River Canyon Namibia 🇳🇦 | Ais Ais Resort & Hobas Viewpoint

As part of an overland road trip through Southern Namibia we spent 2 night at Ais Ais hot springs resort at the Fish River Canyon. A really pleasant spot and an oasis in an incredibly dry area. The chalets are well equipped and the natural hot water mineral pools are a treat. And it was reqlly quiet, hardly any other visitors around.
From there we spent time at the Hobas Viewpoint, the main lookout for expansive views of the Fish River Canyon. It's also the start of a 5 day hike through the canyon that ends at Ais Ais, 86 km downstream. There is a camp site at Hobas as well as a restaurant, swimming pool and small shop where essentials can be purchased.

The journey is in support of 3 of Africa's big cats: the Lion, Leopard & Cheetah. I'll be sharing the adventure with weekly videos and daily updates in stories, the community tab and shorts.

thank you so much for that brilliant video. Just worked on my own video visiting it 28 years ago with a little fiat car and tent. Things changed obviously (visitor center etc..) but the magic is still there and you caught it. Best, Chris

[@Kangela]

Thanks so much for the kind words Chris.

Niiiice video, thanks for posting. Did you have to pay to get into the Fish River Canyon? If yes, how much? 3:50 so if I'm understanding you correctly that mean it is only 10km from this place? 3:43 the gate where you first enter?

[@mieczyslawkuzma3739]

Chris, a great idea and a great video. I'm waiting for the next.
By the way, the music is excellent. Who is it ?

[@Kangela]

Thank you Mieczyslaw, glad that you have enjoyed my content. The music is from Epidemic Sound: Gravel and Dust by Jett Everill and Desert Blues by Don Skye.

Boet what is the process at customs what docs etc?

[@Kangela]

You need your PCR test, recently changed to within the past 72 hours, it was 7 days when we visited. I wasn’t asked for my vehicle ownership papers but it’s a good idea to have them. And of course passports. They aren’t really that helpful on the Namibia side, but it is fairly painless all round. Coming back to SA you can get tested at the border for R300, results in 15 minutes.
