Fish River Canyon Viewpoint, located in southern Namibia, offers breathtaking panoramic views of Africa's second-largest canyon. The main viewpoints are generally accessible by 2WD vehicles on gravel roads, with short walks to the various overlooks, though some areas might have limited wheelchair access. Visitors can explore solo by self-driving, but guided tours offer deeper insights into the canyon's geology and ecology. While the viewpoints are open year-round, the challenging 4-5 day canyon floor hike is restricted to the cooler months of May to September due to extreme summer heat. Entrance to the Ai-Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park, which includes the canyon, costs approximately N$150-200 per international adult per day plus a vehicle fee. A typical visit to the rim viewpoints lasts 1-2 hours, ideal for photography, especially during sunrise or sunset, and visitors should be prepared for remote conditions and carry essential supplies.
