Lüderitz

Once a bustling town, with an important fishing industry and nearby diamond diggings, is today a town with melancholic atmosphere and a consciousness of past glory.

However, in the past few years, Lüderitz is trying to recover from this reputation and its emphasis lies in tourism: excursions from Lüderitz include 4x4 trails and boat trips, newly established hotels at the waterfront and fine restaurants offering the country’s best rock lobster.
