   Originally constructed during World War II by farmer Nicolaas Spreeth, the pass was built to facilitate access to his

   farm, Ubib, located at the base of the escarpment. One of Namibia’s most spectacular views is from the top of the

   Spreetshoogte Pass, where the land drops off by roughly 2000 metres, creating a natural vantage point overlooking

   the vast, semi-desert plains and the arid mountains beyond

   Sesriem Canyon is a captivating natural wonder located in the heart of the Namib Desert in Namibia. Carved over

   comes from the Afrikaans and Dutch words for six leather straps, which early pioneers used tied together to draw

   unique desert flora and fauna, making it a popular stop for tourists exploring the surreal landscapes of the Namib

   Desert
