An early start, then we head north via the distant town of Springbok, best known for its diamonds, copper and spring flowers. We then proceed to our camp located right beside the Namibian border. The camp is situated on the riverbank that forms the border between South Africa and Namibia. If the current is not too strong you may be able to swim across into Namibia, but you’ll have to come back and get your passport stamped if you intend on travelling through the country!

Day 3 Namibia – Gariep (Orange) River - Fish River CanyonThis morning there’s the chance to see the beautiful river valley by canoe or just relax at camp.

This is also a fantastic photo opportunity. Optional Activities: Half-Day Canoe Adventure.
