Quiver trees, stone-and-thatch chalets, rugged landscapes and towering red boulders characterise Gondwana Canyon Village in Namibia’s striking Fish River Canyon. A serene escape that celebrates the rugged beauty of the region, this village offers visitors a true Namibian experience, where the vast desert meets historical culture and natural beauty.
Gondwana Canyon Village offers a collection of chalets built from natural stone and thatch, blending seamlessly into the rugged terrain. Each room is equipped with modern comforts while showcasing the charm of traditional Namibian architecture. Guests can enjoy peaceful stays surrounded by panoramic views of the canyon and its striking, rocky landscapes, making it an ideal retreat after a day of exploration.
Set against the backdrop of towering red boulders, the village is situated at the foot of a mountain range, offering views over the plains leading towards the Fish River Canyon. The landscape is dotted with quiver trees, and the village architecture echoes the region’s rich history and striking geology.
Guests can embark on guided walks and drives to explore the canyon, take in the breathtaking views and discover the area's rich flora and fauna. Scenic sundowner drives offer spectacular vistas at dusk, and for a more leisurely pace, relaxing by the pool with panoramic views of the landscape is a perfect way to enjoy the surroundings.
