About Swakopmund
The essentials for planning your trip
Swakopmund needs 2 days: the German-architecture center by the Atlantic on one, and dune adventure activities (sandboarding, quad biking) on the other. October-March (southern hemisphere summer) brings the best coastal weather, though morning fog is frequent year-round. It's more expensive than Windhoek, reflecting its status as Namibia's main coastal tourist destination. It's nicknamed «African Bavaria» for its nearly intact German architecture, and its location between the Namib Desert and the Atlantic Ocean makes it Namibia's capital of dune adventure sports.
