	Location Canyon Lodge is situated just 20 kilometres from the main view point of the Fish River Canyon and next to the main road. A restored farm house, built in 1908, serves as the lodge restaurant. The nearby Quiver trees and impressive rock formations cater for the hiking enthusiasts. A lot of effort has been put in removing all the existing fences and establishing waterholes for the game. The regular game counts prove that we already have a healthy, albeit small population of kudu, Oryx, springbok, ostrich, mountain zebra and a variety of smaller antelopes. Even leopards are sighted regularly again. Facilities available: It offers an a la carte restaurant, fully licensed bar, private camping sites, a swimming pool, fuel station and information centre. Accomodation available: The lodge consists of 26 bungalows built out of natural rock, thatch roofs and full en-suite facilities.
	Brief history of Gondwana Canyon Park The idea of founding the Gondwana Canyon Park was born in 1996 when a small group of dedicated Namibians decided to try to preserve a small area bordering the eastern side of the Fish River. For decades, this land has been used for sheep farming which in the end proved unsustainable in this semi-desert area that receives less than 100 mm rainfall annually. What started out as a small idealistic concept has grown today into a full-scale park of approximately 100.000 ha. Even in this short period of time a substantial recovery of the flora and fauna has taken place.
