A South African Afrikaans geographical term for a natural corridor or valley running between sand dunes — essentially a street or passage formed by the landscape. In the coastal dune fields of South Africa, particularly along the Western and Eastern Cape, these natural channels are navigated by hikers, wildlife, and local communities. The word is the Afrikaans equivalent of 'street' (from Dutch 'straat') but has been applied to describe a very specific natural topographical feature in the dune environment.
