Swakopmund Holidays

Swakopmund is a coastal city in Namibia that was founded by German colonists in the late 19th century and its Germanic influence can still be felt in the city’s architecture and elements of its culture today. During a stay in Swakopmund, stroll around the city to admire some remarkable buildings such as Hohenzollern, the Woermann Haus, the Lutheran Church, or the buildings of Kaiser Wilhelm Strasse. Once you have had your fill of these pretty streets, extend your Swakopmund holiday by driving down the coast to Walvis Bay to go whale watching, heading to the desert to explore the dunes of Sossusvlei, or going north to Cape Cross to see the famous Cape fur seal colony that lives here.
