Ai-Ais Hot Springs.

Ai-Ais Hot Springs marks the dramatic southern terminus of the Fish River Canyon hiking trail, where weary trekkers soak sore muscles in naturally heated, sulphurous mineral pools fed by underground springs. Set within the Ai-Ais/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park, the resort sits in a stark, mountain-ringed desert valley carved by the Fish River, offering a uniquely restorative end point to one of Africa's great wilderness hikes. Its name, meaning "burning water" in the Nama language, speaks to the springs' long history as a place of healing.
