The Kalahari Desert covers eastern and southern Namibia, large parts of Botswana and the north-western area of South Africa. It can't be defined as a real desert as it receives too much rain. It can rather be called a fossil desert. This area in Namibia is inhabited by the San people (Namibian bushmen), who used to be hunter-gatherers. In contrast to the high sand dunes in Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert, the look of the Kalahari is characterized by little grass clumps and red dunes. They are not very high but long and have a sharp crest. Spot African wildlife like Black-maned Kalahari Lion, Oryx, Giraffe, Warthog or little Meerkat (Suricate) on game-drives or just enjoy the silence around you.

The coastal town of Lüderitz was an area rich in diamonds and is located 815 km from Windhoek in Namibia. It began life as a trading post (1850s) with fishing and guano-harvesting but when diamonds were discovered in 1909 in nearby Kolmanskop, Lüderitz enjoyed a swift flood of prosperity. Today, diamonds are mostly found elsewhere and offshore, so the Lüderitz economy now centers on fishing and tourism. Its allure as a town lies in the fact that little has changed since the early 20th century.
Lüderitz is an eccentric Bavarian style village, built on the rocky, barren, and windswept coast of the southern Namib Desert. It still looks almost as it did at the beginning of the 20th century. Its colonial history as the birth of Germany’s first settlement in Southwest Africa is revealed by the many charming and elegant buildings such as Goerke House and Gelsenkirchen (1912) on top of Diamanteberg (Diamond Hill).

Located just 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) outside of the town of Lüderitz, almost opposite the Lüderitz airport, one will find the incredible sight of Kolmanskop Ghost Town. Once home to over 1 200 people, around 700 families, Kolmanskop story is one of incredible wealth, prosperity and sudden decline.
In just over 40 years, the town, complete with a ballroom, theatre, hospital, casino, school and bakery, was built, processed over 1 000 kilograms (2 204 pounds) of diamonds and was then deserted.
A visit to Kolmanskop provides an eerie understanding of how the desert slowly but surely reclaims all that is built in it. The sand creeps into every space, breaking down and absorbing bricks, metal and plaster, creeping across floors and through doorways, finding its way into every space as if it was liquid. The result is an incredible historical sight.
