Vogelstrausskluft Lodge

Vogelstrausskluft Lodge lies within the 260km2 Vogelstrausskluft Reserve, which was formed in 2001 with a view to re-naturalising three former sheep and goat farms situated in the Fish River Canyon area. The lodge is built on the rise of a small hill, about 70km, as the eagle flies, north of the usual Fish River canyon viewpoints, making them a very long drive from the lodge. It's close to the site of the old Vogelstrausskluft farmhouse and overlooks an ancient river course which forms a grassy valley below.

Our view of Vogelstrausskluft Lodge

Vogelstrausskluft Lodge is a lovely lodge with great views and is a good base for exploring the upper reaches of Fish River Canyon. It is considerably further from the canyon than other lodges in the area, and therefore much less convenient for canyon visits, but don't let this put you off, as the comfortable rooms, welcoming hospitality and excellent food more than make up for it.
