Swakopmund in Namibia

Private Swakopmund Tours

Swakopmund lays claim to being Namibia’s best-loved holiday town. It is set on the coast where the Namib Desert meets the sea, and offers adventures on land and at sea. Desert tours take you into the Namib to show you the different plants and animals that live there. Ride up huge sand dunes on a quad bike or gently discover the sands on a camel ride. Catamarans will take you to Walvis bay lagoon to see seals, sun fish and turtles. You might also spot dolphins and whales.

Evidence of the city’s German colonial past can be seen in its architecture. The Altes Gefängnis, a prison designed by Heinrich Bause in 1909, and the Woermannhaus, built in 1906, are two prominent examples. There are a range of cafes, bakeries and restaurants where you can find German-style cakes and German dishes too. The Swakopmund Museum, the largest privately run museum in the country, provides a deeper look into the history and culture of the Namibian people.
