Great Fish River Canyon Horse Safari, being the largest natural gorge on the African continent, the spectacular Fish River Canyon in the southern region of Namibia offers a fantastic geological and biological diversity.

Being home to two plant-rich biomes, namely the Nama-Karoo and the Succulent-Karoo, this dramatic landscape is one of the most diverse biomes in the world which is quite astonishing considering the aridity of the area.

Vast plains invite for thrilling endless canters in a scenic meandering gorge as well as dramatically eroded escarpments. The riders cross two sizeable Private Nature Reserves in Namibia which are dedicated to the conservation of this crucial Namibian plant kingdom.

The Great Fish River Canyon Horse Safari ends in the dry basin of the Orange River where its verdant vineyards at Aussenkehr can be admired, these being the largest early grape vineyard found in the southern hemisphere.
