"A wonderful location in the rocks with the desert all round. A great experience to have the hyrax playing within a few meters of our room, and so many birds all around. The swimming pool on the edge of the desert was stunning.

However, the service was not up to the standard one expects from a place of this standard: room not very clean, damp towels not changed, and a dreadfully long wait for lunch - after which the wrong order was delivered." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana

"It had an out of season air - a lot of maintenance work going on, staff were functional.

Rooms small and needed some outside shade in the summer heat. The setting and views were lovely." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Our family enjoyed staying at Canyon Lodge. We were the only English speaking family, and were impressed as the Manager spoke so many languages fluently. The Manager was extremely attentive and outgoing. She walked us to our car when we left to say goodbye.

Canyon Lodge had very interesting cottages, arranged among very unique rocky hills, with boulder that looked like they would topple on the cottages (but did not). The pool provided a welcome resting area to read and view the desert. The food was served buffet style and was excellent.

Fish River Canyon is very impressive, but we needed to be very careful as there is nothing to prevent one from going over the edge." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa

"This lodge is well placed for visit to the canyon, which is awesome, but there's little else to see or do.

Food average - choice of 2 starters, 2 mains and 1 desert - quantity seems to be more important than quality. Lodge comfortable but little shade on veranda and in fact very little shade available at main building (bar/reception/restaurant) unless you want to sit inside. Swimming pool some 6 minutes walk from our lodge (no. 4) which was also not one of the closest to the bar/restaurant which was surprising considering that on the first night there were only 6 people and 7 on second.

Wi-Fi only available in reception area. It seems most of the lodges, their position/orientation to the sun could have been thought out better, have very small verandas to shield from the sun so there's not much opportunity to sit outside. Horse riding would seem to be no longer available. Anecdotal evidence seems to suggest this was discontinued some time ago following a riding accident involving a small child. The horses are still there but no one suggested riding." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana

"A very good base to explore the canyon and also to relax and enjoy the sunshine and pool.

The service overall was good and the buffet supper offering was adequate." See all these reviews: 10n in South Africa; 4n in Namibia
