Kolmanskop: Namibia’s Fascinating Ghost Town in the Desert
by KIKE CALVO
Kolmanskop, an abandoned ghost town in Namibia’s Namib Desert, offers a haunting glimpse into the region’s diamond mining past. Founded in the early 1900s during a diamond rush, the town quickly grew into a thriving community before being abandoned in the 1950s. Now a popular tourist destination, it attracts history enthusiasts and photographers seeking to explore its surreal, sand-filled buildings. Accessible from Lüderitz, guided tours offer insights into the town’s history, making it a must-see for those fascinated by human ambition and the relentless passage of time.
