Namibia - Fish River Canyon

After our time spent in the Namib Desert we headed towards the South African border along the Orange River. On the way, we stopped at Fish River Canyon which is Africa's largest canyon. Sunk deep into the Namibian grasslands, it runs for about 160 km and reaches 27 km wide at sections. On average, the canyon is over 550 m deep along its entire length. Though not quite as impressive as the Grand Canyon, it was still spectacular. Here are two pictures we took from the rim.
