Geography: Namibia's second largest town is situated along the Atlantic coast about 30km north of Walvis Bay.
History: Swakopmund, an important harbour during the German colonial era was the gateway to South-West Africa and the rest of the colony. Traditionally known as Namibia's 'summer capital", Swakopmund is an interesting mix of romance and history, with a rich cultural heritage.
Arts and Culture: The Bavarian spires and elaborate Germanic architecture characterise the town, with the Woerman House of 1905 being an important landmark. The former trading house in Bismarck Street with its impressive Damara Tower and courtyard bordered by arcades is today the home of the city library, an art gallery and the office of the Namibia Wildlife Resorts. The town is an eclectic mixture of Bohemian and Bavarian, home to an intriguing mix of artists, hippies, strait-laced descendants of German settlers, stately and hard bitten miners, game rangers, safari operators and fishermen.
Science and Nature: The boom of the surf on the notorious Skeleton Coast is an ever-present reminder of the icy Atlantic Ocean beyond. Just outside town is the extraordinary Moon Landscape, a seemingly never-ending series of bizarre hills that look like pictures taken of Mars, or the Sea of Tranquillity, which is best visited at sunrise or sunset. A bit further afield, in the bed of the Khan River, is the oasis of Goanikontes, a lush splash of water and vegetation in the barren Namib. For botanists, there is the lure of the fields of what have been called 'living fossils', the giant Welwitschia Mirabilis. These extraordinary trees never grow more than two metres above the ground, but the bigger specimens have underground stems which are up to four metres wide. The tree has just two leaves, which droop in opposite directions. If one of the leaves dies, the plant dies. The oldest living specimen has been dated at 2,000-years old, while the average age of the youngsters is between 500 and 600 years old. The Namib Naukluft Park, one of the most bewitching desert wilderness areas in Africa, surrounds the town. Delight in a one-day trips or longer safaris for the ultimate desert camping experience.
Entertainment: Night-time entertainment ranges from sophisticated spins on the casino's roulette wheels, through raucous parties at the many pubs and restaurants, to an assortment of drama, music and cultural events. Swakopmund also offers a host of other attractions, including excursions by boat to see dolphins and seals, shore based angling (some of the best in Africa), skin diving, surfing or just simply lazing on the beach.
Sport: Just outside Swakopmund, a section of towering dunes have been set aside for recreational purposes; sand boarding and skiing, quad biking, camel rides and off-road driving.
Did You Know? Although fringed by a huge, hot desert the sea water of Swakopmund is much too cold too swim in, as the cold Benguela current flows past here.
