Sesriem Canyon
The 1km-long, 30m-deep Sesriem Canyon, 4km south of the Sesriem headquarters, was
carved by the Tsauchab River through the 15-million-year-old deposits of sand and gravel
conglomerate. There are two pleasant walks: you can hike upstream to the brackish pool
at its head or 2.5km downstream to its lower end. Check out the natural sphinxlike forma-
tion on the northern flank near the canyon mouth.
