Sesriem Canyon

Only 4 km south of Sesriem entrance gates, the canyon (1 km long and 30 m deep) was carved out by the Tsauchab River.
It was an essential water collecting place for the early settlers who tied six lenghts of rope together to pitch down the canyon for easy retrieval.

Each lenght of rope known as riems, was the beginning of its present name, Sesriem.

Take a short trek upstream and discover beautiful wading pools waiting for you to cool yourself down and escape the day's unrelenting heat.
However, at certain times of year the pools are stagnant and not so inviting, so use your common sense.
