Sesriem Canyon is invisible from even a short distance away, due to the towering dunes that shelter the canyon.
A large variety of wildlife has adapted to live in this inhospitable place, including lizards, beetles, birds, jackals and other species.
Derived from Afrikaans name "Ses" meaning six, and "Riem" meaning thong - derived from the method of water collection riders used to use.
The canyon was formed by the Tsauchab River which rises in the Naukluft and Zaris Mountains to the east and flows through to Sossusvlei.
