Swakopmund

Namibia's adventure town on the Atlantic, between the desert and the sea.

About

Swakopmund at a glance

Swakopmund is Namibia's main coastal town, with German colonial buildings, palm-lined streets and a cool, often misty climate that is a welcome change from the desert. Our office is here, and it makes a relaxed base for a few days between Sossusvlei and Damaraland.

From here you can join a dolphin and seal cruise from Walvis Bay, a living desert tour, sandboarding or quad biking in the dunes, or a scenic flight over the Namib. In the evenings there are good seafood restaurants and cafés to enjoy.
