À vivre

This spectacular canyon, the second longest in the world, has nothing to envy its famous American counterpart. For those drawn to rocky desert landscapes, a few extra hours of driving beyond Namibia's most visited sites are well worth it.

Stretching 161 km in length, 27 km in width and reaching depths of 550 m, this gigantic ravine offers breathtaking panoramas at every turn. With a bit of luck, you may spot discreet but fascinating wildlife: zebras, baboons, or klipspringers moving skillfully across the cliffs.

To make the most of this natural jewel, the best approach is to stop at the numerous viewpoints along the road or to explore the canyon on guided hikes, which allow you to appreciate its striking relief and unique perspectives over the surrounding desert.
