Region: //Karas

//Karas is Namibia’s vast, sparsely populated deep south, dominated by the Fish River Canyon — the second-largest canyon in the world — and the arid plains stretching toward the South African border. Campsites cluster around Keetmanshoop, Grünau and Karasburg, serving both canyon hikers and travellers looping between the Kalahari, the coast at Lüderitz, and the border crossing at Noordoewer.
