Luderitz, Namibia

[Borna]

I'll be on a cruise that stops for the day in Luderitz.  What should I see/do?  Referrals for private guide?

 

I'm thinking of seeing the following: Comments?

 

Luderitz, Namibia

8 am - 5 pm

Felsenkirche

Deutsche Afrika Bank building

Goerke house

Kolmanskop ghost town 12 km from Luderitz

The Lüderitz Peninsula is a scenic round trip with picnic spots and good photo-ops at Griffith Bay, Sturmvoglebucht, Diaz Point, Halifax Island, Essy Bay, Eberlanz Höhle, Kleiner Fjord and Grosse Bucht.

We'll be in luderitz in December 2024.  Just starting my research.   Have former colleagues who are now working in Namibia so I'm hoping they can give some advice

Hi Miriam, I am not stalking you just saw your question and had an answer for you.

We took their 4 x 4 afternoon tour organised by someone else on CC, there were four of us. I was slightly worried about motion sickness but I sat in the front and was fine. This tour is one of the highlights of our Africa cruise and I highly recommend it.

Hi Rosalyn....hope you are well.  I wound up taking the Oceania Luderitz tour to the deserted town because that made my 5 excursions which brought down all my other excursions by 25%. The 2 days in Walvis Bay we have private Sandwich island and Spitzkopff tours I really dislike O excursions but am not willing to throw out $1200. excursion credits. Simply More has changed everything.  Really looking forward to Namibia.

 

I did forward this information to one of the people still looking. Thanks
