Luderitz is great I love Namibia.

Looks nice, well-kept houses in striking colours...but why are the roads that lead to those beautiful houses not tarred? Lüderitz is Namibia´s third largest city, right?

^^ I like the dirt road nostalgia.

I'd only think it's around #8 in population. Cities as Keetmanshoop, Rehoboth and Gobabis are slighty larger in population. It's difficult enough to get good photos of Namibian cities, we could only imagine that we would go through a stressful time trying to locate photos on the NET of the cities I just mentioned.

These are the well known Namibian cities:

Windhoek's population: 230,000
Walvis Bay's population: 45,400
Swakopmund's population: 35,000
Luderitz's population: 12,900

stormshadow, just 12.900 inhabitants, that is truly small but it is a nice city. Can you show us some more photos?

^^ This last pic is awesome... Is there any reason why namibian streets seem so lonely???

^^ I was about to ask the same question.

Low population density-it's a pretty big country, but it's only got about 2.5million people.

lovely and somehow looks like Holland's towns!

lovely and somehow looks like Holland's towns!

They were designed to look german, so that is probably where you see the connection.

namibia cities brag something that no african city can, cleanliness and order, i think it is because of the low population density and responsible leader/citizens

Beautiful city :yes:

Yea very sweet town , the shape of the houses, the lighthouse, the sea, the mountains of Luderitz-- like in the fairy tale :)

The beach at Luderitz

VERY NICE STORM SHADOW. THE COLOURS OF THE HOMES ARE GREAT, BUT A LITTLE BIT LONELY, BUT VERY NICE PICTURES THOUGH

IT KINDA LOOKS LIKE CAPE TOWN. NICE.

It's a nice small city, I gather it's #3 or #4 in Namibia. It's rather isolated too. There are some abandoned towns somewhere to the east if Luderitz, the sand dunes and time encroached it.

It looks like a city in Germany.

Too german - buildoze it all. We want everything to look like ambermoronia...

On a serious note: This is an amazing small town. Friendly people, safe, clean - breathtaking scenery!

You right on the spot Nairoberry, the only time our cities will be like those in Namibia it will be when our leaders become responsible. It's amazing on how beutiful a city can be by just being clean.

Looks so clean, like most Namibia's cities, and also very german.
Beautiful, colourful and well developed houses.

I like the colours

Interesting city.

Where are the Namibians though? It's like they built their country then left!
Maybe that's why it's so clean, there's nobody to mess it up lol.

beautiful

looks cool city i never thought that there is something like this..i thought that there haven't left nothing from colonial times..i can see that they are restoring alot of buildings..It's obviuosly seen a german influence ..is there other citys in namibia which looks like this.

It's like a town from Bavaria in a tropical desert.

Looking at Luderitz is like a breath of fresh air. Clean cut creativity and beautiful design. Thanks for the great photos!!!

Such a harsh and beautiful place. The sea here is almost always raging, and when the swell is huge and the wind is pumping, man, you certainly know you are alive!

charming
