This canyon located at the entrance of the park offers a very interesting geological structure.
Created by the Tsauchab River and located at the entrance to the park, the canyon offers a most interesting geological structure: the rocky clusters testify to a formation dating back more than 15 million years. Sesriem means "six straps" in Afrikaans, a reference to the efforts of the Boers who named the place, who once had to tie six straps together at the handle of a bucket to draw water from the bottom of the canyon. It is possible to walk down into the canyon and back again (about 2 hours).

Il n'est pas nécessaire de parcourir 2 h de marche pour profiter de la beauté et de la relative fraîcheur du canyon. N'espérez pas faire trempette (en août en tout cas) on ne trouve qu'une légère trace d'humidité au début du canyon.

Petit canyon mais qui vaut le détour. On peut y descendre facilement pour y admirer le spectacle magnifique de la nature.

Less known than the nearby Sossusvlei site, the Sesriem canyon is worth a visit.

Ce canyon est intéressant car on peut très bien y observer les différentes strates. La balade est facile.
