NAMIBIA - LUDERTIZ

November 15, 2024

Luderitz is a fascinating little town oozing history. This town dates back to 1883 when it started as a trading post. In 1909 diamonds were discovered and by 1912, the town grew even more, thus building of Kolmanskop.

In 1488 Dias Cross was erected. Dias was the first European to sail around the Southern tip of Africa. The cross stands on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The cross represents the Early European exploration of the African continent. Today the cross is a popular tourist attraction.

Our favourite hotel here is Luderitz Nest Hotel. Situated right on the beach over looking at the Atlantic Ocean.

All rooms are sea facing, and the restaurant offers fabulous local foods.

Using this hotel as a base is perfect for exploring the area.
