Staying at Klein-Aus Vista Desert Horse Gondwana Collection Namibia

An hours 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 off at the museum. Before getting to Luderitz, be sure to stop off 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 off 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.
