Lüderitz…the Diamond of Namibia is isolated on a wild and windy shore – it is surrounded by the Namib Desert and has only one road in, yet, the harbour town of Luderitz has a quiet charm under cobalt blue skies. All visitors to this coastal town in Namibia are encouraged to walk around and have a look at the colonial buildings and brightly coloured German Art Deco style architecture, which is so at odds with the extremely rocky Atlantic coastline of southern Namibia.For a scenic drive in Luderitz you can go around the lagoon which is busy with lots of birdlife including pink flamingos, towards the Peninsula. En route you pass picturesque bays and unspoilt beaches in a protected area. At Diaz Point you will be on the spot where Bartholomew Diaz first landed in Southern Africa. Even further you can see Bogenfels which is a famous rock arch.
