Luderitz

Kolmanskop is eerie, beautiful, mysterious, and bone-chilling all at the same time. If the walls could speak, they’d surely have many stories to share. The town used to be vibrant and rich; miners flocked to Kolmanskop to mine diamonds. By 1956, the whole town was abandoned. Guests have two options while visiting. They can either tour on their own and take photographs or take a guided tour for about an hour to hear the history of the town before exploring on their own. Many people find the tour well worth it. There are many interesting stories they would have missed otherwise.
