Hot Springs
The Ai-Ais Hot Springs Resort is situated at the southern
end of the Fish River Canyon and is about 75km from the
Fish River
Canyon Viewpoint. The Ai-Ais Resort is low, being just a couple of meters above
the level of the river, and surrounded by high rock-faces. In the summer
months the heat reflects of these. It is a hot place and in the summer months temperatures in
excess of 50c are not uncommon. The name A-Ais in the Nama language means 'Very
Hot'. The rest camp closes from the 1st
Sunday in November
to the 1st Sunday in April. During these months, which are the Namibian
rainy season there is the risk of flash flooding of the Fish
River.
