Kolmanskop

Kolmanskop, known to be a ghost town in southern Namibia, stands as a beautiful relic of the country's diamond mining history. Located 13 km from Luderitz, it's a great day trip to do when visiting the coastal city.

Abandoned in the 1950s, this once-thriving desert settlement now boasts sand-filled buildings that create a surreal atmosphere. Visitors can explore the area, frozen in time, and wander through the sea of sands that have slowly reclaimed the town. The unique scenery makes Kolmanskop a popular destination for photographers and history enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into Namibia's diamond rush era.
