Fish River Canyon National Park Getting there & around

Getting there & away

There’s no public transport to either Hobas or Ai-Ais, but hitching is fairly easy during the hiking season from mid-March to 31 October. Thanks to South African holiday traffic, the best-travelled route is to Ai-Ais via two turnings, one 36km north of Noordoewer and the other 30km south of Grünau. Once in Ai-Ais, plenty of holiday-makers head for the viewpoints around Hobas, thus facilitating hitching between Ai-Ais, Hobas and the beginning of the Hikers’ Viewpoint trailhead.
