Solitaire is a remote settlement, at the edge of the Namib-Naukluft National Park which has been a welcome stopover for more than 60 years. A thirsty traveler will find cold drinks, ice cream, baked goods, coffee and lunch. You can fill up on petrol, have tyres repaired, and stretch your legs during the long drive from Sesriem to Swakopmund.

Ein durstiger Reisender findet kalte Getränke, Eis, Backwaren, Kaffee und Mittagessen. Auf der langen Fahrt von Sesriem nach Swakopmund kann man Benzin tanken, Reifen reparieren lassen und sich die Beine vertreten.

Sesriem Camp location is very scenic, with mountains and red sand dunes in the background. Sesriem derives its name from the time when earlier African pioneers trekkers (Voortrekker) tied six (ses in Afrikaans) lengths of rawhide thongs (riems in Afrikaans) together to scoop water from the pools of the Sesriem Canyon. Sesriem Camp consists of forty four camping sites and six overflow camp sites.  

Sesriem Canyon is located at the entrance gate to Sossusvlei section of the Namib-Naukluft National Park, where centuries of erosion have cut a narrow gorge around a kilometer in length. At the foot of the gorge, which plunges down to 30 to 40 metres, are pools that become replenished after good rains.

----------------------------

Die Lage des Sesriem Camps ist landschaftlich sehr reizvoll, mit Bergen und roten Sanddünen im Hintergrund. Sesriem leitet seinen Namen aus der Zeit ab, als frühe afrikanische Pionier-Trecker (Voortrekker) sechs (ses in Afrikaans) Längen von Rohleder-Riemen (riems in Afrikaans) zusammenbanden, um Wasser aus den Becken des Sesriem-Canyons zu schöpfen. Das Sesriem Camp besteht aus vierundvierzig Campingplätzen und sechs Ausweichcampingplätzen.

Der Sesriem Canyon befindet sich am Eingangstor zur Region Sossusvlei des Namib-Naukluft-Nationalparks, wo jahrhundertelange Erosion eine enge Schlucht von etwa einem Kilometer Länge geformt hat. Am Fuße der Schlucht, die auf 30 bis 40 Meter abfällt, befinden sich Pools, die nach guten Regenfällen gefüllt werden.
