Gondwana Cañon Park
The Nama Karoo - yellow flowers of quiver trees against the blue sky at the second largest canyon on earth. The quiver tree is a typical stem succulent of the Nama Karoo and several clusters of them can be found on the vast plains of Gondwana Cañon Park. With an area of 1,260 km² and the first piece of land acquired in 1995, this park is the largest and oldest nature reserve of the Gondwana Collection.
By now it is seen as ‘Little Etosha’: nowhere else in southern Namibia are animals found in similar numbers and diversity: species which once used to roam the area are finally back again - like springbok, oryx antelope, hartebeest, blue wildebeest, ostrich, plains and mountain zebra, kudu and klipspringer, and even black rhino.
Experience black rhino in the wild - during a guided Rhino Tracking Tour (3-4 hours). Explore Gondwana Cañon Park on a hiking trip, a horseback excursion or a scenic drive. And visit our Canyon Information Centre at the Cañon Roadhouse.
