Guided hiking tours with mules in the Fish River Canyon
Imagine exploring the Fish River Canyon – from
as close as can be and without lugging a heavy backpack
along! The Trekking Tours offered by Mule Trails Namibia
enable hiking enthusiasts to enjoy the stark beauty
of almost pristine nature in the second largest canyon
on earth. Luggage and equipment are carried by mules
while hikers only have to take a light rucksack for
the day’s necessities. A seasoned tour guide points
out and explains the rock formations which are millions
of years old, as well as the unique flora and fauna.
This trail takes participants into the wilderness area
north of the main lookout point. Nights are spent in
a tent or in the open, depending on personal preference
and outside temperatures.
The Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon on
earth, is situated in the transition zone between two
desert systems, the Nama Karoo and the Succulent Karoo
(the world’s most diverse desert). The landscape
is characterised by meandering gorges which are up to
500 m deep and twist and turn through layers of rock
which are millions of years old. The flora includes
unique plants like the quiver tree, candelabra euphorbia
or tamarisk; game such as mountain zebra, klipspringer,
kudu, duiker, springbok and ostrich abounds in the area.
