Fish River Canyon Photos
Photos and images of the Fish River Canyon were taken from two of the numerous vantages spots that are on offer, unfortunately, we only had a few hours in the area which meant that we could not wait for the light to be perfect (which is early morning and around sunset).
The Fish River Canyon is the largest canyon in Africa and second-largest in the World, The Grand Canyon being number one.
We would recommend a wide-angle lens when photographing, light is very very harsh during the middle part of the days, but there will be no shadows inside the canyon. The Fish River Canyon is a tricky beast to photograph, either the light is perfect, but you have shadows, or the light is harsh but no shadows.
Canyon facts;
- 160 kilometres long
- 27 kilometres at its widest
- 550 metres deep in places
All photographs have been taken by us here at Uyaphi.com for over 20 years.

The Road To Sossusvlei
Once one navigates the main Sesriem entrance gates and enters the national park a pleasant surprise awaits, a tarred road (yes, a tarred road) that extends all the way through to the main parking area near Sossusvlei.
Cape Town To The Kunene River
In November and December of last year (2019), we loaded our Jeep and headed north out of Cape Town, destination Namibia and the Kunene River, her border with Angola.
A couple of thousand kilometres later, we returned, this time, more in love with country than ever.

Top 5 restaurants in Windhoek
Continuing our series of dining in Africa, we look at Windhoek. More and more visitors are becoming aware of the unique attractions that this country as a safari destination has to offer.
Nowhere is too far to travel in this small (and clean) city of 330,000 but be warned when you go out to eat, vegetarianism is not common!
Best Places To Go In Namibia
The Uyaphi team has compiled a list of the "Best Places to go" which most safari itineraries would include. A different destination from most African safari destinations.
Instead of lush green forests or open savannas, the primary attraction being vast, open deserts interspersed with canyons, mountain ranges, and oasis.
Living With The Himba
In May 2012, we arranged for Uyaphi.Com client Ken Vine from Devon in England to stay with the traditional Himba people in two remote villages in the middle of Kaokoland.
He lived, slept, ate, conversed and photographed these Himba villagers.
