Welcome to Swakopmund

Swakopmund is Namibia’s leading adrenaline destination, with a
wide range of activities to suit all ages and (most) egos.

The area of Namib Desert around Swakopmund is named the West Coast Recreational
Area. And recreation is the town’s number one draw card. There are countless pursuits
to help you spend your time, and money. For those interested in adventure activities
Swakopmund offers sandboarding, quad biking, dune carting, parachuting, hot air
ballooning, shark fishing, deep sea fishing and beach angling to name but a few. For the
more sedentary there are restaurants, cafes, art galleries, the Swakopmund Museum, a
snake park and aquarium.

The town’s most iconic symbol is the Swakopmund jetty, initially used as mooring for
ships it later became a popular are for anglers and walkers, it has fallen into disrepair on
numerous occasions and has been subject to several attempts to rescue it from
complete dereliction. Recently large scale work has been completed on the jetty which
now proudly boasts a small restaurant and bar area.

The Welwitschia drive is an interesting way to spend a few hours and introduces you to
some of the fauna and flora of the Namib Desert. Bird lovers can pay a visit to the
Swakopmund Salt Works or the Walvis Bay Lagoon, which in season is frequented by
thousands of flamingos.

Welcome to Walvis Bay

Walvis Bay (vahl-fis bay), 30km south of Swakopmund, is pleasant enough, particularly
around the new waterfront development and along the esplanade. The town proper is
not so compact and your own wheels make life a lot easier. It’s a good alternative to
staying in Swakopmund if that city is too much of a scene for you – Walvis Bay has a far
more relaxed feel to it. And the accommodation options and food choices are excellent.
Unlike Swakopmund, Walvis Bay was snatched by the British years before the German
colonists could get their hands on it. As a result, Walvis Bay is architecturally uninspiring, and lacks the Old World ambience of its northerly neighbour. In marked contrast, the area around Walvis Bay is home to a number of unique natural attractions, including one of the largest flocks of flamingos in the whole of Southern Africa.
The only real port between Lüderitz and Luanda (Angola), the natural harbour at Walvis
Bay is the result of the sand spit Pelican Point, which forms a natural breakwater and
shelters the city from the strong ocean surge.

After breakfast, depending on the time of your fight back home.

We might have time for 1 activity in Swakopmund, before departing to Hosea Kutato

International Flight, in time for your flight back home.
