Fish River Canyon

What a day! On our way to Fish River Canyon, the 2nd largest canyon in the world after the Grand Canyon, we saw antelope, onyx, ostrich, baboons, springbok and some lovely giraffes. It sure is surprising to see what can spring up out of the desert. The flora was interesting too. The canyon is 27 kms wide and 160 km long and in places is almost 550 meters deep. We only had access to the rim but the views were spectacular! The canyon was dry today but there is a portion that looks like Horseshoe Bend in Arizona does without the water.
