NAMIBIA’S CHALLENGING FISH RIVER CANYON

The Challenge - Wild Africa is a land of harsh contrasts and relentless ordeals and none more so than the ninety kilometre hiking trail which follows the Fish River deep into the arid erosion surfaces of southern Namibia. It was into this demanding and taxing landscape that a group of twelve hikers with heavy back-packs from Merrifield College in East London, South Africa descended five hundred metres below the surface plain to the uneven zigzagging canyon floor.
