For all of us who are sick and tired of so-called African-themed lodges with their thatched roofs and animal hides, here's the ultimate stylish, contemporary getaway. Set right at the edge of the Fish River Canyon in Southern Namibia, the aptly named Fish River Lodge occupies probably the most superb location of them all. Just where your private patio ends, the dramatic stone cliffs plummet down into the canyon. All here is glass and wood and concrete and decoration is kept to a minimum. It's the landscape that sets the scene, and any additional frills would just be a distraction from the spectacle outside your window. Whether it's from your cosy bed or the outdoor shower, there's always this grand panorama that makes you feel utterly content immediately. Just sit and stare. On top of it all, the people at the lodge are extremely friendly and food is definitely way above the Namibian average, especially if you consider the remote location.
