Fly like a... stone, then float like a butterfly
MelanieBee Says: I had what I thought was going to be a once in a lifetime experience. Turned out that I enjoyed it so much I'll definitely do it again! Ground Rush Adventures are based in Swakop and offer tandem sky diving for anyone aged over about 12 years and weighing under 100kg. This...
MelanieBee Says: Alter Action offer eco-friendly sandboarding in the dunes about 10km from Swakopmund. They pickup from your hotel at about 9.30am and drop you back at about 1.30pm. It's very reasonably price at between N$250 and N$350 depending on which type of boarding you do.You can board...
German Evangelical Lutheran Church
mvtouring Says: This neo-baroque building built in 1909 by Fh Schimt. The church roof is covered by copper
mvtouring Says: Different view of the architecture
mvtouring Says: An excellent place to visit for young and old alike. They have a scratch patch where you can go and select some stones. There is the "tunnel" you go through to see what it looks like down in the mines. A great way to spend some time.
mvtouring Says: This is another excellent example of German architecture in this little town.
mvtouring Says: This building with its nice big decorated tower, was built in 1905. It now houses the reservation office of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, and part of the building is the Public Library.

mvtouring Says: Everyone you tell that you are going to Swakop tells you that you must go to Cafe Anton for coffee and cake.
mvtouring Says: We had a window seat and the view was great. The food was absolutely fantastic. Nice and fresh and a varied menu.
euzkadi Says: I visited Swakopmund in a sunday in september, and the city was a kind of gost town, there was no nightlife. But this place was a nice option, good music, good Windhoek beers, and a friendly staff.
euzkadi Says: The Cape Liner bus to and from Windhoek was a very comfortable way of traveling. The trip from Windhoek to Swapkopmund takes four hours.
Swakulia Weavers: Swakulia Weavers
mvtouring Says: Looking for a mohair or woolen carpet, then you have found the right place.
Informal traders: Informal traders
mvtouring Says: At the back of the museum you will find these stalls of the informal traders where they sell some really lovely things. You can bargain with them.
Luchonda Says: The northern Kunene Region is home to the Himba people, a nomadic tribe of Herero origin that still lives and dresses according to ancient customs and traditions.Difference in clothing - the traditional way or just in jeans !! (A herero women)I took this picture at a petrol...
cl0v3r Says: Swakopmund on Sundays becomes a ghost town. Plan your Sunday afternoons with friends at the beach and don't expect any shops and clubs to be open.
Jontxu Says: For those european travelers... you can buy lot of ivory in the different shops around, specially in Swakopmund, to get it out of the country is allowed, but you can face serious problems entering the EU, now that you know about it decide by yourself.
See the "Martin Luther" museum
GrumpyDiver Says: On the way in to town you can make a short turn off to see the Martin Luther Museum. The guide books all refer to it as a train, but this is a bit misleading, as this "train" never ran on tracks. The Martin Luther is really a steam-powered tractor that pulled three carts...
Luchonda Says: A place in Swakopmund visited by many local fishermen or/and people loving a beautiful sunrise or sundown. In previous time a boarding place for fisherboatsNext to the beach there is a remarkable "Arnold Shad" promenade, decorated by many palmtrees and local flora.
mvtouring Says: This is a golfing course with a major difference. On the field you will almost for sure find some springbok and you have to wait for them to finish grazing before you can play.
mvtouring Says: Derick is an absolute gem. These guys are very conscious of their safety records and they ensure that their tandem masters do not jump if they are tired, upset or showing any signs of fatique. They are the guys you want to use for safety and a great jump.
