Kolmanskop Photography Day Pass — Sunrise Access

For serious photographers, the Kolmanskop Photography Day Pass (N$400) grants entry from 06:00 — before the guided tour crowds arrive. East-facing buildings catch golden sunrise light from 06:00–08:00 with deep shadows through doorways. Must be purchased at least one day in advance from the Kolmanskop gate, Lüderitz Travel Information Centre, or Desert Deli Café. Amateur photographers only — commercial photography requires a separate N$500/day permit. No drones, no night photography.
