Chameleon Holidays & Travel for Safaris & Vacations in Africa | Southern Africa | Namibia | Cañon Lodges

Cañon Lodge is situated only 20km from the main viewpoint of the Fish River Canyon, situated on the 520 sq km privately owned Gondwana Canyon Park. Cañon Lodge is built from natural materials, including local rock and thatch roofs. The lodge offers rooms with en-suite facilities, while the old farm house serves as the dining room. The lodge serves as an excellent base from which to explore the wonders of the Fish River Canyon in Namibia.

Tall weather-beaten granite boulders mark form an integral part of the overall design. Spaced evenly amongst these boulders are 26 thatched, wooden bungalows. All units are equipped with comfortable beds and en-suite bathrooms. The boulders protrude into the rooms to make them blend in with the natural surroundings. The design of the bungalows was conceived with the idea to make you feel one with nature whilst enjoying a comfortable stay.

The old farmhouse, originally built in 1908, has been restored to serve as the Cañon Lodge Restaurant. Its main attraction is an awe-inspiring view of the canyon landscape, which needless to say, makes a meal at the restaurant truly an experience not to be missed. Decorated with farming implements dating back to the previous century, and combined with the lively chatter of guests and staff alike, visitors will enjoy the warm hospitality and traditional Namibian food.

Although not widely advertised, one of the interesting points of this lodge is its quest for self sufficiency. This includes making their own cheeses and yoghurt/curd, growing a wide range of vegetables and raising a variety of livestock.
