5 days in Swakopmund Itinerary

Nestled on Namibia's Atlantic coast and surrounded by the sand dunes of the vast Namib Desert, the resort town of Swakopmund enchants visitors with its distinct German colonial architecture and pleasant climate.

Zeila Shipwreck and German Evangelical Lutheran Church will appeal to history buffs. Get some cultural insight at Swakopmund Museum and Swakopmund Mole. Change things up with these side-trips from Swakopmund: Walvis Bay (Dolphin & Whale Watching, Off-Road Tours, &more). There's lots more to do: see exotic creatures in open habitats at a safari tour, snap pictures at Swakopmund Jetty, walk around Long Beach Leisure Park, and browse the different shops at Platz Am Meer.
