Yes! Book a private, door-to-door airport transfer with a local English-speaking driver. Enjoy fixed and transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and the option to pay in advance without the hassle of exchanging cash at a foreign airport.
You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Know more about traveling from Luderitz
The road to Luderitz is long and passes through isolated desert terrain where services are scarce and distances between fuel stops can be significant. Having a professional local driver means you navigate none of that stress — no route-planning, no concerns about fuel management, and no fatigue from hours of unfamiliar desert driving. Your driver can also share local knowledge about stops worth making along the way, so the journey itself becomes part of the experience rather than something to endure.
Luderitz sits at the end of a long desert road, roughly 340 km (211 miles) southeast of Keetmanshoop and about 850 km (528 miles) from Windhoek. The drive from Keetmanshoop takes approximately 3.5 to 4 hours through some of Namibia's most dramatic Namib Desert scenery. Most travelers plan this as an overnight or multi-day trip from Windhoek, but it works well as a dedicated day excursion when departing from closer towns along Namibia's southern corridor.
A well-planned day gives you enough time to cover the essentials. Kolmanskop alone warrants at least two hours — guided tours run through the sand-filled interiors and the site's photography opportunities are exceptional. The town itself is compact and walkable, with Goerke House, the art deco Felsenkirche church, and the harbor area all within easy reach of each other. If you move at a relaxed pace, six to seven hours on the ground covers the highlights without feeling rushed.
Kolmanskop was a thriving diamond-mining settlement in the early 20th century, complete with a hospital, casino, and grand family homes. When the diamond fields were exhausted, residents left almost everything behind. Today the Namib Desert is slowly reclaiming the buildings, filling rooms with drifts of sand up to window height. The result is one of the world's most photographed ghost towns — a genuinely eerie and visually stunning place that has no equivalent anywhere else on the continent.
Luderitz is one of Namibia's most surreal destinations — a remote Atlantic port town where well-preserved German colonial architecture rises against a backdrop of desert dunes and crashing surf. The big draw is Kolmanskop, a diamond-rush ghost town just a few kilometers inland, where shifting sands have consumed former mansions room by room. Add flamingos wading in the lagoon, wild fur seals on nearby rocks, and a genuinely end-of-the-world atmosphere, and you have a day trip unlike anything else in southern Africa.

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
