Day 4-5

Ghost Town and Wild Horses

Ghost Town and Wild Horses

Spend the next two nights just outside Aus, which is a tiny town full of history. Klein Aus Vista is a country-style hotel with individual chalets, all offering views of the ever-changing Namibia landscape.

An hour's drive west takes you to the coastal town of Luderitz. With a strong German influence, and if you enjoy architecture, it is worth driving through this town and stopping at the museum. Before getting to Luderitz, be sure to stop at the famous "Ghost" town of Kolmanskop. The living museum is only open in the morning and it's best to get there as soon as it opens.

On your way back to the hotel, stop at the viewing area of the wild horses of Namibia. There is an organisation that makes sure the horses are provided with food and water in times of drought, but for the rest, they are wild and roam the hills of the area.
