Attractions

Luderitz was founded in 1883 by the German merchant Adolf Luderitz. In 1884, the German empire took over and laid the foundation stone for the colony of German South West Africa. Nostalgic Luderitz presents itself today as a very colourful town, due to the lovingly maintained historical buildings.

3. Boat trip (weather permitting) to Halifax Island, the home of the Jackass penguin.
