Ais Ais

This is a great place to head for if you're finishing or starting a trip, or wanting a base to explore the Fish River Canyon. There are no backpackers here although there is camping.

Ai Ais Hot Springs
Yes. Loved this place. Powerful and overwhelming in presence, this is a great place to head for if you're finishing or starting a trip, or wanting a base to explore the Fish River Canyon. The hot springs (Ai Ais means very hot in the Nama) are littered with impossibly huge chunks of raw Quartz.
