Windhoek, Namibia – 24 April 2025 – Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) wishes to inform the public and all clients that the upcoming Fish River Canyon hiking season, has been postponed until further notice following concerns raised by the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism regarding high water levels in the Canyon.

 

The Ministry highlighted that the current conditions may pose significant safety and environmental challenges for hikers. As a responsible operator, NWR prioritises the safety of its guests and the preservation of Namibia’s natural heritage, and we are therefore aligning with the Ministry’s recommendation.

 

Clients who have already made bookings for accommodation with NWR during the hiking season will be given the option to either:
• Postpone their stay to a later date, or
