Namibia is one the most fascinating and diverse countries in the world and a number one travel destination. Few countries, if any, can claim limitless horizons, stark landscapes, harsh environments, and untamed wilderness, complemented by rare beauty, great scenery, a pleasant climate, few people, a beautiful coastline, one of Africa’s greatest game parks and the world’s oldest desert.

Namibia offers space, silence, and the chance to really get away from it all. It is the second least densely populated country on the planet, with only two people per square kilometre. You can drive for hours under huge blue skies without seeing another car, surrounded by landscapes so vast and empty that at times you feel like you are on the edge of the planet. In an overpopulated world, there are not many places left where you can immerse yourself as deeply in remote wilderness as in Namibia.   

Swakopmund is the ideal base for both mild and extreme adventure seekers. Waterfront palm-lined promenades, beach accommodation, buzzing nightlife and classy restaurants make Swakopmund, Namibia’s top beach resort town. A mecca for adventure junkies, the west coast recreational area has something to offer for everyone. If sandboarding or skydiving sounds too energetic, then offshore fishing or a dolphin cruise may suit you better. Of course, the ever-present sand makes a great backdrop and quad biking in the dunes certainly gives that “Mad Max” feeling. The extremists can try parachuting or hot air ballooning.

Swakopmund has great German delicatessen on offer. Treat yourself to a brötchen at Namibia’s most famous coffee shop, Café Anton; fish and chips at the famous yellow bus Fork & Nice next to the beach and try the big boot beer at the traditional German restaurant, Swakopmund Brauhaus.

Make the most of your stay and mingle with the locals – that is where the true beauty of our beautiful country lies.
