Luderitz

3.8
Ghost Towns · Lighthouses · Churches
Lüderitz tourism centers around its well-preserved colonial Art Nouveau architecture and diverse wildlife. Lying on one of the least-welcoming shallow coasts of Africa, the port town receives almost no modern ships, only fishing vessels. However, the harsh geographical conditions can enrich your Lüderitz itinerary with various activities, such as visiting a nearby ghost diamond town, exploring the sand dunes, and observing African penguins, dolphins, and flamingos. Other places to visit in Lüderitz include the newly constructed quay filled with shops, restaurants, and offices; a Gothic rock church; and an old yet popular railway station. In the build up to your vacation in Luderitz, plan trip itinerary minutiae using the visitor reviews, staff write-ups, and custom search fields on our Namibia trip itinerary planner.

    Where to stay in Luderitz

    Kolmanskop Ghost Town ©
    Surrounded by deserts and inhospitable ocean waters, the only accommodations in Lüderitz lie in the city center--with the exception of an inexpensive campsite on Shark Island near the harbor. As with most of the structures in Lüderitz, lots of the guesthouses and lodges feature a colonial Art Nouveau style, and will put you in close proximity to seafood restaurants. If you're up for a more luxurious stay, book a hotel room near an isolated beach in the southwestern part of the town, with sea views, an outdoor pool, and a wooden pier.
