Activities: Sossusvlei, Deadvlei and sesriem Canyon - Sesriem Canyon, on the Tsauchab River, gets its name from the days when the early travelers needed to draw water from the river in the canyon and, because of its depth, tied six leather thongs together, fastened a bucket to the end and lowered it to the pools below. In Afrikaans “ses is six and “riem” is the name for the leather thongs; hence Sesriem.




General Info: Sossusvlei is generally regarded as one of the most spectacular landscapes in Namibia. The ‘vlei' itself is situated at the point where the Tsauchab River dams up at the foot of a spectacular series of sand dunes, its route to the sea blocked.  The sand that makes up these massive dunes, amongst the biggest in the world, was carried here by the east winds from central Namibia and owe their distinctive overall colour to the presence of iron oxide, with streaks of black contributed by magnetite . To give you an idea where Sossusvlei is: You may enter the gate to Sossusvlei upon sun rise and still have to travel 63km to reach the well known “Sossusvlei” and “Deadvlei”.
