RE: Visiting Kolmanskop- the real life Namibian ghost town

in #travel7 years ago

Wow.. the sand piling up in the school... That is pretty haunting. With these kind of towns it's really a shame all that goes to waste. Maybe it was cheap to build and leave... If they found a good way to keep it going by building a town around a theme park or something. Then again.... Probably nothing left to do around there.

Sort:  

I think they do pretty well out of tourists and visiting photographers. Namib-De Beers maintain everything so there must be some money in it, thankfully for us :)
