Itinerary description
This is the GPS track we used to walk the fish river canyon. We walked it in 3 days. The hike starts slow with large boulders you have to climb over, then the next day you walk over bowling ball like rocks which is still some what slow. After these rocks distance is covered very quickly and gets easier as you walk.
I suggest getting up and packing before sunrise and leave as the sun is about to rise. Between 11:00 and 15:30 it is to hot to walk, find a cool spot out the sun next to water.
Despite lots of advice to walk it without a tent I strongly suggest a tent. You will be tired of the sand and there are many insects at night that will be attracted to your heat and especially a fire or cooker!
