This ghost town is located +/- 10 km from coastal town Lüderitz. And located in sperrgebiet ‘forbidden – zone’ The town was created after the discovering of some special stones which where diamonds. Kolmanskop became a diamond hotspot. The habitants had a pub, a butcher, a baker, a post office, ice factory and a full worthy hospital. The maximum population the community reached was 1,300.

We were on an arranged 12 day tour around Namibia which included a visit to Twyfelfontein. Once you park at the designated parking space it is a short walk tot he reception that has a well stocked gift shop and a small shop with refreshments. It is run by the local people and you are allocated a guide who takes you around explaining the paintings and answering questions. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. THe painting are beautiful and apparently only a precentage of what is actually still in the area

This beautifully restored old home is one of the finest in Lüderitz and a must see when visiting here. It is located just around the block from Felsenkirche, the old German Lutheran Church on Diamantberg Street. Is was built in 1910 on diamond hill and is run today as a museum and open for tours. BOTTOM LINE: Well worth the taxi ride or walk from the cruise port. Made beautiful buildings are located within a couple of blocks from here with a Bavarian flare. Try to plan your visit during visiting hours to see the inside too. Great spot for photos here and on diamond hill behind the home. MY RATING: 9/10.

The engravings were clearly marked and there are lots of them to follow and look at. Each tells its own story. Make sure to take water with you as its a large area. The key can be obtained from the reception at Oppikoppi Rest Camp. Cost is R60/p and R100 key deposit. My girls enjoy the engravings very much because its part of our homeschool curriculum!!
