Fish River Hike.


    

It's Fish River season again! Now, with water levels in the Fish getting lower by the day (unless NamWater decides to open the Hardap Dam), pack your outdoor equipment and head South for this iconic hike. It won't be long after the descent into the canyon and you feel lightyears away from the real world. As the river meanders through the breathtaking landscape, you get closer and closer to nature. Well, naturally you will, as you have to drink the water from the river, endure the elements and camp rough (unless you want to carry your tent all 90km down to Ai-Ais). But then, it is definitely manageable and worth every single blister. Just don't forget to bring a proper map along to find shortcuts and know your position, as it's not uncommon that the MET office in Hobas runs out of maps.
