Friday 20th August - Norotshama to Vogelstrausskluft
Distance: 450km
Its back on the gravel for today's ride which took us past one of Namibia's premier natural wonders, The Fish River Canyon. During the day we visited the hot springs at Ai-Ais and took in the breathtaking canyon views from the various viewpoints along the way.
The Fish River is, at 650 kilometres, the longest river in Namibia. Its source lies in the eastern Naukluft Mountains and it runs south-west of Ai-Ais into the Orange.The canyon, situated along the lower reaches of the Fish River, is one of the most impressive natural beauties in the southern part of Namibia and with a depth of up to 550 metres it is one of the largest canyons in the world. The enormous gorge meanders along a distance of approximately 160 kilometres through the fissured Koubis massif all the way down to Ai-Ais.
Our nights' accommodation is at the Vogelstrausskluft Lodge situated approximately 150km from the main lookout point of Hell's Bend.
