The perfect holiday in Aus
A luxury Aus tour is a great stopping point enroute to visiting the historic ghost diamond mining town of Kolmanskop
At first glance, Aus may seem like a modest desert town, with its main architectural nods reflecting Namibia’s German colonial past - something echoed in many settlements across the region. Yet a tailor-made holiday including Aus is a popular feature of southern Namibia itineraries, and for good reason.
Just outside the town, a small population of desert-adapted feral horses roams the arid plains - a rare and somewhat mysterious sight in this harsh environment. But the main draw is the hauntingly beautiful ghost town of Kolmanskop, a short drive away. Once a thriving diamond mining settlement, it has long been abandoned and is now being slowly consumed by the Namib Desert’s shifting sands, offering a striking blend of history, decay, and natural reclamation.
