The visit to this abandoned city in the middle of the last century is worth a visit. Attention: closes at 13. The tour - independently, without Guide - takes about 2 hours. It starts from the main building where there are explanatory billboards, old photos, objects of the time. Then you visit the various buildings: the school, the hospital etc.. It is all very impressive, the buildings, some more than others, are slowly being filled with sand, as if nature wanted to take back what is its own. It is a very beautiful site, you visit in tranquility and with a very particular panorama all around. Too bad that some Italians - but not only - did not miss the opportunity to demonstrate their incivility by writing on the interior walls of buildings.

It was a very interesting place to visit. Our tour guide, Clarisha, did a wonderful job of telling us about the history and showing us around. The tour is about an hour long and then you are free to explore the houses, except one, which is unsafe. There are refreshments for sale in the coffee shop and there is a curio shop, a bit pricey. If you don't visit Kolmanskop, you have missed out on a very special experience!

Very interesting tour (definitely join so you hear some details) and then opportunity to wander round and explore on your own. A lot of photo opportunities. Don’t miss to go into the bowling alley and the theatre and shop street. The on site cafe has good cakes, coffee, small meals served by some lovely ladies to sit inside the room has a nice atmosphere. Really enjoyed out visit.

This was on my bucket list for a long time, and it did not disappoint. This is a must do when in the Luderitz area. Be amazed at how the town was run and see the difference in ‘classes’. It is amazing how nature can take over when civilization moved out. The options to enter is either a guided tour (two tours available in the morning) or a day pass can also be purchased for eager photographers.

It was a great experience. This was a bucket list town that we could finally get around to see and it did not disappoint. The views were beautiful and the kids enjoyed running around in the houses filled with sand! There was plenty of information on the history of the town and our tour guide was funny and informative. However (tongue in cheek), the kids were terribly disappointed that they did not get to see an actual ghost. As one of my daughters said "Why is it called a ghost town if there aren't any ghosts, I think we got scammed, the houses aren't even haunted"

Wow. this place! We showed up before sunrise as one of us is a photographer and we were the only ones. Make sure to get your entrance ticket in town the day before. The rooms can almost all be explored and it's such a unique experience. After 9, the big groups started showing up. Right when we finished :)
