Namibia is a beautiful country with lots of spectacular scenery and wildlife to see. This stop was not one of those instances though. It was a pleasant enough 20mins to go to the top and walk down to the bottom but not a must see. When something is called a canyon you expect more of a...well canyon! The gap was very narrow and nothing like the picture I had in my mind. More a rocky crack that opens out a bit down below. Call me a philistine for not appreciating the rock layers but it didn't mean much to me.

While exploring the Sossusvlei area I visited the Sesriem Canyon and can definitely say it is a must-see attraction. It's only a short drive from the Sesriem gate, via a gravel road that's a bit rough but passable if you take it slow. There's plenty of parking available at the canyon, but be on the lookout for baboons and I recommend you don't leave any food in your car that they can see. The canyon itself is beautiful with towering walls surrounding you and providing a nice reprieve from the heat of the desert. Getting down to the canyon floor is short and not too strenuous and at the bottom you will mostly be walking on river sand so make sure you have comfortable shoes on. I really enjoyed visiting the Sesriem Canyon and, because of it's unique beauty, you have ample photo opportunities to remember the experience by.

Not the greatest for sure. But when in the park then it is nice to finish the day with this. Do not only go down but also walk along the edge. Be careful though as you need to make sure not to fall. The walls are high and some rocks might be loose

This is a fantastic geological excursion and is extremely interesting. Note that you should be prepared especially if it is hot. Do not go unprepared. ensure you have drinks and comfortable shoes. CAUTION!!! This canyon can flood and if it does it is a flash flood and you can get trapped. This will happen when there has been rain in the Khomas Highlands. Babbons can be present and if they are you may find them climbing on your car in the car park. Do not approach them!

We walked here in the afternoon after we climbed BigDaddy and visited deadvlei in the morning with our 2 young children (6 &9 yo). Plenty of time, easy to combine (we really took our time). The canyon is a very easy doable walk with parts in the shade and sun. Length adjustable to whatever suits you as you entrance via one point and simply turn around halfway you’ve had enough. There is only one intersection (can’t miss is); if you go left its another approx 500 mtr to a tiny waterhole.

This cute canyon, shaped by thecTsauchab River, can be flooded in heartbeat with sudden flash floods. People walk a short distance and get a feel for the many nooks and crannies. The name comes from "sea" for "six" and "sus" which means "straps" signifying that it look six pieces of animal hide to raise and lower all bucket for water--way back in the day. You can walk the whole 4.5 kilometer (2.75 miles) to the entrance gate of Nabim Naukluft , take a 20 minute walk thru the park, walk on
