Campsites in Ai Ais

Imagine unwinding in the soothing embrace of natural hot springs after a day of exploring rugged terrains. At Ai-Ais, nestled at the base of Namibia's Great Karas Mountains, this becomes your reality. The name Ai-Ais translates to "hot as fire," a nod to the thermal springs that bubble up at around 60°C, rich in minerals like sulfur, chloride, and fluoride.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the Fish River Canyon offers a five-day hiking trail starting near Hobas and concluding at Ai-Ais. This trek, spanning approximately 88 kilometers, is typically undertaken between May and August, allowing you to witness diverse wildlife and bird species.

The surrounding landscape is a treasure trove for nature lovers. The Ai-Ais / Richtersveld Transfrontier Park, encompassing both Namibian and South African territories, is renowned for its unique flora, including the giant quiver tree and the 'half-mens,' a plant steeped in local legend.

Whether you're soaking in the thermal pools or exploring the vast canyon, Ai-Ais invites you to reconnect with nature. Have you ever considered embarking on such an adventure? What discoveries might await you in this unique landscape?
