Enjoy The Hot Springs Of Ai Ais

browse (1 / 3)

The Ai Ais, located at the southern end of the Fish River conservation area, is a simmering oasis to weary travellers and hikers that have trudged through the Fish River Canyon. What better way is there to end a strenuous hike than by kicking off your shoes and dipping them in the crystal waters of the pool, before soaking yourself in mineral-rich waters? The smouldering cauldron of sulphate- and fluoride-rich water is the ideal retreat for sufferers with rheumatism, and an exceptionally healthy experience. Known to the locals as the "burning water", the hot springs of Ai Ais can be up to 60 degrees centigrade.

The indoor and outdoor pools are soothing portals of relaxation and springs of health surrounded by 360 degrees of breathtaking scenery. In the immediate vicinity, the surroundings teem with wildlife and birdlife. Enjoy a game of tennis in the sweltering heat and cool off in the crystal-blue waters of a swimming pool before taking a dip in the mineral-rich waters of the Ai Ais. Superb camping sites submerge campers in beautiful natural surroundings.

With grandiose mountains towering in the background, enjoy the fountains of youth that jet from the earth's surface. The therapeutic waters are complimented by cocktails from the bar, followed by a sumptuous meal by candlelight. During the day, temperatures are extreme. Take some time out from the soothing waters to hike in the Fish River canyon or go on an adventure by 4x4 on one of the many trails into the Fish River Canyon.
