We are back to the wild horses of Garub. Compared to our first visit five years ago, the horses look much healthier and well-fed. No wonder, it rained enough and there is plenty of grass. Most of the herds have little foals with them.

A long cherished wish comes true, we are visiting Kolmanskop. The ghost town in the restricted diamond mining area which is slowly claimed back by the desert. After an interesting tour with a guide we can explore the village and the houses on our own, in the museum you learn about the former life in the village and about diamonds in general. Life was very luxurious, but in such an inhospitable environment you have to know how to keep your staff.

We have always wanted to visit a quiver tree forest. At the Mesosaurus Bushcamp you camp close to the quiver trees and can wander around and explore as long as you want. Other farms or places with quiver trees try to capitalize much more from the trees and charge sometimes quite high entrance fees. Quiver trees belong to the family of succulents, therefore the branches are inside fibrous and can be hollowed out rather easily. The bushmen build quivers from the hollowed out branches, hence the name quiver tree.
