Remote Beauty & Desert Adventure
The Deep South is also home to wild desert horses. These wild horses are the descendants of those left behind by German settlers who came to this arid land in search of riches. The desert horses are best seen near the town of Aus, on the way Kolmanskop and Luderitz.

Why Visit Deep South?
Untamed, Isolated, and Full of Stories
As you head towards the Orange River, the border with South Africa, there are a number of sights which make it on the bucket list of any worldly traveller. The most notable geographic feature in this area is the Fish River Canyon, which at 160km long and up to 27 km wide, is the second-largest canyon in the world, behind only the Grand Canyon. The waters that flow through the canyon eventually meet up with the Orange River, on their way to the Atlantic Ocean. There are a number of points from which to gaze over the Fish River Canyon and there are even week-long hiking routes along the base of the canyon.
