Gondwana Kalahari Park
The Kalahari is seen as the world’s largest continuous stretch of sand. Explore the red dunes in the yellow savannah under blue skies – on a scenic drive through our park or on foot on our hiking trails.
Take pictures of huge weaver birds’ nests and the largest flying bird of all, observe vultures and marabou storks at the feeding table for carrion birds

or go on an excursion to Stampriet or Hardap Dam.

Gondwana Cañon Park
The Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon on earth, is a must on any tour to the south. Drive from our park to the lookout point (20 km) or take high-angle pictures during a scenic flight. The fauna and flora of the Nama Karoo are characteristic for the park: explore accumulations of quiver trees and watch Springbok, Gemsbok, Ostrich and Mountain Zebra

– by car, on horseback or on foot. Interesting destinations for day excursions are the hot springs of Ai-Ais and Warmbad.

Gondwana Sperrgebiet Rand Park
The fascinating Wild Horses of the Namib regularly come to the drinking trough 20 km west of Aus. Watch them on an excursion with us or on your own. In our park, on the eastern fringe of the Diamond Restricted Area, you get to know the Succulent Karoo, one of the 25 biologically most precious areas on earth – with bizarre plants like the ‘living stones’. Five

hiking trails take you through granite rocks, seasonal river courses and the wildly romantic valleys of the Aus Mountains. A 4x4 tour is just the thing for adventurers. And the ghost town of Kolmanskop is a mere hour’s drive away...

Gondwana Namib Park
Every visitor gets ecstatic about the highest dunes of the world - assembled around the dry pan of famous Sossusvlei. Gondwana Namib Park is an ideal starting point for an excursion to Sossusvlei. On a Sundowner Drive in the park you can explore the fossilised dunes of the proto-morphic Namib, marvel at the infinite sand sea of the ‘young’ Namib

and watch the solitary shapes of Gemsbok, Springbok and Ostrich on the plains. The massive Naukluft Mountains are another attractive destination for a day excursion.
