 Swakopmund from the Namib Desert

There’s good reason this is one of Namibia’s most popular destinations. For those wanting to get in touch with Namibia’s sea life, the place to head is the National Marine Aquarium. By providing visitors with elaborate information on Namibia’s coastal wildlife, this sight will ensure visitors are well prepared for subsequent boat rides out to sea. As they are situated by the waterfront, most Swakopmund hostels are within close walking distance.

As this is Namibia’s adventure capital, many visitors come to Swakopmund looking for those once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Whatever your interpretation of adventure, your Swakopmund hostel will be able to link you with a reliable provider!

For those looking for Swakopmund’s German past, the city centre oozes Swakopmund’s unique Namibian-German character. Make sure to find the Woermannhaus on Bismark Street, a national monument highlighting the heights of German colonial architecture in Namibia. As most Swakopmund hostels are located within the centre, your hostel in Swakopmund will easily be able to direct you toward some of the city’s architectural landmarks.

Whether you’re continuing onward to Sossusvlei, Fish River Canyon, or Etosha National Park, your Swakopmund hostel will certainly be able to help with some up-to-date information and competitive tour rates.
