About Lüderitz for Solo Travelers

A remote German diamond-boom town on the Skeleton Coast where a sand-swallowed ghost town waits for solo photographers willing to make the long drive to the edge of the Namib.

Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo

Lüderitz is remote and slightly forlorn in the most compelling way — the diamond ghost town of Kolmanskop (accessible only with a guide permit) is one of the world's most eerie and photogenic places. The town itself has limited accommodation; book ahead. Flamingos at the lagoon and the wild Diaz Point seal colony are excellent solo day trips. Genuinely off the beaten path.
