Sesriem Canyon, a dramatic natural gorge in Namibia's Namib-Naukluft Park, is easily accessible by 2WD vehicle to its parking area, followed by a short descent into the canyon, though it is not wheelchair accessible and involves some uneven terrain. Visitors can explore independently after paying the park entrance fee (approx. NAD 150 per person + NAD 50 per vehicle for international visitors), though guided tours offer deeper insights; a typical visit lasts 1-2 hours. While generally open year-round, it's best to visit during cooler parts of the day or outside the peak summer heat (October-April), and flash floods can occur after heavy rainfall, rendering it temporarily inaccessible; park gates operate from sunrise to sunset. This ancient canyon, carved by the Tsauchab River, provides a shaded refuge from the desert sun and is an excellent photographic opportunity, often visited alongside Sossusvlei and Deadvlei.
