Location
Aus is between the Fish River Canyon and Soussesvlei, with Desert Horse looking over the Namib and nestled in the rocky hills.
Klein-Aus Vista, Desert Horse Inn, offers a good base for visiting the wild horses in Aus that the area is famous for, or exploring the eerie ghost town at Kolmanskop. It also works well for breaking the journey between Fish River Canyon to Sossusvlei.
Highlights
The rocks glow in the setting sun as you watch the light fade from the panoramic deck at the Inn.
Feel the adrenaline as you rush down the desert slopes from Desert Horse Inn on a mountain bike.
Witness the slow but destructive power of desert sands as they reclaim the ghostly abandoned diamond town of Kolmanskop, only a short drive away.
Hike through the barren rock outcrops in this starkly beautiful landscape, where ostriches run into the distance and klipspringers leap delicately from boulders.
