Back to Namibia Swakopmund
Swakopmund is Namibia’s largest coastal town and traditional 'summer capital'. Surrounded by the sweeping expanse of the Namib Desert, Swakopmund retains a bustling atmosphere of a kind that you would never expect to find in the middle of a desert. Swakopmund is ideally situated as a base from which to explore the main attractions of East Namibia, including the Skeleteon Coast and Walvis Bay.
Sossusvlei, Damaraland and Etosha
Everyone had time for us whether it was in a bank or a restaurant and that is very humbling.
