Namibia
is a country that is fast becoming one of the premier
eco-tourism destinations in the world. Every year,
thousands of visitors are attracted by the country's
unspoilt, diverse landscape which stretches from the
rivers of the Okavango through some of the most
magnificent wildlife and game
parks, over the great Namib desert to the blue waters of
its coast.
Swakopmund has always been the jewel of Namibia's
coastline, and has built a reputation as
adrenaline-filled destination, sure to satisfy
travellers' every whim.
The Namib dunes surrounding Swakopmund are some of the
highest in the world.
The
infamous Dune 7 measures an incredible ± 383m. So,
it's not surprising that the area is becoming renowned
for its professionally run tourist activities like sandboarding, quadbiking, skydiving and desert safaris.
If you're not into
adrenaline activities, then choose between spectacular
beaches, craft markets, museums, fishing and cruises
along the coast. Guests can also enjoy Flights and
excursions around Swakopmund and trips to "Cape Cross"
Seal colony.
Swakopmund is surrounded by private charters, local tour
operators, aviation and safari offices which make it the
ideal base to see the rest of Namibia. The country
boasts the Big 5 in wildlife and has some of the finest
game lodges and reserves in the world, including the
famous Etosha Pans
Nature Reserve. The Okavango River forms the northern
border of Namibia and the network of rivers are
sought-after among tourists for its abundance in
fishing. Or, for something completely different, visit
the Skeleton Coast or Kolmanskop, Namibia's ghost town
swallowed by the Namib Desert. In essence, whatever
you're looking for, Namibia has it in abundance.
