Presentation
Swakopmund is a beach resort on the coast of western Namibia, 352 km west of the Namibian capital Windhoek via the B2 main road. It is the capital of the Erongo administrative district. The city is situated in the Namib Desert and is the fourth largest city in Namibia by population. The architecture of this beach resort is an example of German colonial architecture. It was founded in 1892 as the main harbour for German South West Africa, and a small part of its population is still German-speaking today.
There're many outdoor activities adventure travelers should enjoy in Swakopmund. These outdoor activities include sandboarding, skydiving, desert tours, canoeing, dune trips to Sandwich Harbour, paragliding, windsurfing and quadbiking and horseriding in the dunes. With these activities, we consider Swakopmund as the Adventure Capital of Namibia.
