Aus
Geography and history
Aus is a small village situated in the Karas region of Namibia. This village is most notable for its unpredictable weather and its history as a Prisoner of War camp.
When the German colonial troops surrendered to the South African forces in 1915, a camp for the prisoners of war was set up a few kilometres outside of Aus.
Aus’s weather can be extreme, very cold in winter and hot in the summer. It is also unpredictable – which stems from its proximity to the Cape.
Accommodation
Aus, although small, has a variety of accommodation options available to visitors from Bed and Breakfasts to a Hotel. Please view our accommodation directory for a complete list of places to stay in the area.
