TownLüderitz
Colourful architecture and German bakeries on the Atlantic Coast
On the sandy shores of the Atlantic coast in Namibia, you’ll find this coastal town rich with history and windy summer days. After landing upon the area in 1487, Bartolomeu Dias named the coastal town Angra Pequena, however, it only boomed in 1908 when diamonds were discovered nearby. With exciting water and land-based activities to enjoy, you’ll definitely leave this town with more than you came with.

Best time to go to
Summer is a lovely time to visit Lüderiz, owing to the warm weather and low rainfall. This will also give you the opportunity to explore the outdoors as much as you’d like! However, fall – March to May – is the busiest time for tourism in this little town. The reason can be attributed to temperatures being more comfortable than in summer, in combination with non-existent rainfall.
