Excellent, for what these horses have managed; to adapt and survive in the harsh conditions of a desert!! On the 27th km between Aus and Luderitz there is a stone sign saying GARUB WILD HORSES. If one turns right - coming from Aus - one comes to a hide with a waterhole infront. On our 1st stop we saw 3 adult horses and a foal coming for a drink. I was happily surprised to see that they all looked quite healthy. Without the help of the Foundation that takes care of them and gives them extra food, I don't think they would be able to survive the harsh conditions, the heat and the droughts. The 2nd time we stopped, on the way back to Aus, we only saw an ostrich family at the waterhole. Nobody knows for sure how these feral horses got to be living in the desert but there are 2 predominant theories; one that they belonged to the Schutztruppe during the first World War; two that they belonged to Baron von Wolf who owned Duwisib Castle. When he went to fight in Europe during World War 1, nobody cared for his horses so they eventually ran wild. Wherever they came from, it is amazing that they have survived! And, it is breathtakingly beautiful to see them running free in the vastness of the Namib Desert.

This Park as the name suggests is on both sides of the international border between Namibia and South Africa. The C13 road in Namibia travels through the area closely following the Orange River, which designates the border between the two countries. The Park area has a varying, wild and remote environment. The road crosses the point where the Fish River joins the Orange River. The Fish River bed was dry, when we crossed, but the Orange River had a significant amount of flowing water. This area is worth visiting to see the extensive desert type rocky scenery and wildlife, whilst the proximity of the road to the border means you can clearly see South Africa on the other side of the river for a considerable distance.
