Luderitz Namibia
The sheer isolation of Luderitz, the curious way
in which its colonial – style buildings cling to the rocks
overlooking the bay, on some days a deep iridescent blue, on others
grey and stormy, the crispy fresh climate, fishing boats bobbing
up and down on the Atlantic Horizon, penguins and seals diving beneath
the waves, give the town a curious other world allure.
Luderitz was initially referred to as Angra Pequena, meaning Little
Bay, by the Portuguese, whose navigator Bartolomeu Dias erected
a stone cross on Dias Point on 25 July 1488. Heinrich
Vogelsand, agent of the German merchant from Bremen Adolf Luderitz,
landed at Angra Pequena on the 9 April 1883, to establish a trading
station. In April 1884 this land became part of the protectorate
of the German Protectorate, marking the beginning of the German
control of Namibia.
Activities while in Luderitz include:-
» Take an ocean excursion to penguin and seal colonies
» Sail the bay and the archipelago and discover the bounty of the
Atlantic Ocean
» Drive along the peninsula for some pretty dramatic scenery
» Photograph the Ghost towns of Kolmanskop
and Elizabeth Bay relics of the diamond- era history
» Explore the Sperregbiet (Forbidden Zone) on a guided off road
adventure
» Photograph Neo Gothic architecture, museums,
and restored mansions
» Luderitz is the Rock Lobster capital of Namibia
– taste this delicacy at any number of fantastic seafood
restaurants
