Re: Worth seeing Luderitz if time short? Posted: Sun August 24, 2003 03:30 AM UTC
Luderitz is interesting and worth a visit, but you can do and see everything in a day or two. The history of the place (and nearby Kolmanskop) is really interesting, but these days many of the old buildings in town are looking a little shabby. It's worth a drive out to some of the beach areas to the south of the city if you have a 4x4. The drive to Luderitz from Aus is beautiful and you may see the wild horses in the desert. From Luderitz back up to Swakopmund is pretty barren. You can take the back roads and drive forever through neverending (but gorgeous) desert, or head back to the main highway through Keetmanshoop.
