This lodge is absolutely fantastic. The views from this hotel fulfills everything the pictures promises (and more). It costs some money to stay here, bur if you are upgrading one in a lifetime, this is the place to do it! Stay two nights here, be sure to arrive in time for sunset the fist day, go for a walk or...

You can drive hear with any normal car. A 4WD is not needed. I came to Fish River Lodge with very high expectations - and I was not disappointed. The word "breathtaking" may be over-used but here it is most proper. Just staying at your room is enough. There is a platform outside. Place your bed here and sleep under... More

We were not sure quite what to expect but were very pleasantly surprised on arrival - you can never quite be sure if the pictures are hiding something. On the drive to the lodge we were wondering if there was even a canyon. Then we walked through the front doors and baboom! What a site. It really is a spectacular... More

We stayed 3 nights in this lodge. We were amazed by the views and the very friendly and helpfull staff and management. For example; we did forget some clothes in another lodge and they really helped us to find it and get it back! The food was also very good. I can recomend this lodge to everyone! The ride to... More

Arriving at this lodge I went to reception but no staff available. I did ask a employee at the bar if anyone would come to reception and the reply was "who would you like to see "I wanted to say my Preacher" The employee then told us when the meal times where and he took us to our Chalet. He... More

When we arrived there was no one at reception. Eventually a reluctant individual turned up and informed us of meal times. We were given a room key. No one helped with the luggage. Room quite stylish, nice size bed, good size shower, cement floor . Bathroom amenities poor. Cheap shower gell, shampoo and body lotion in bottles differing sizes. .... More

The lodge it self is amazing, and it has the must stunning view of the Canyon, but it is its people led by Ruth that makes this place magical. We had the most fantastic 4 day glamping trip throught the Canyon, and our guides PJ and Ryan made sure that we arrived safely everyday to our camps.Thx for a fantastic... More

After a 12 hour drive (5 on gravel roads) and one border crossing, we were shattered when we arrived, but the view when walking through to the pool area was stunning and uplifting. Well worth staying for a couple of nights, to give you time to explore with the different options that are made available to you on arrival. All... More

If you are looking for peace and quite then this is the place for you. Fish River Lodge is situated some 2½ hrs away from any form of town or village on the very edge (literally) of the world's second largest canyon. To get to the lodge you must travel for 85km along a dirt road and then turn off... More
