Sesriem Canyon, near the entrance of Namib-Naukluft National Park, is a striking natural gorge shaped by the Tsauchab River over millions of years. Visitors can walk through its narrow passages, admire dramatic rock formations, and enjoy the rare presence of water year-round. Notably, the canyon’s name derives from early explorers who tied six leather straps together to lower buckets into the depths to fetch water, highlighting its historic significance.
