Swakopmund Day Tours

Swakopmund Day Tours

Swakopmund itself is one of the most popular two to three-night spot overs on most safaris through Namibia, a destination that is not all about the German colonial style buildings and the fantastic restaurants on offer.

The town for a wide range of interests from adventure activities, photographic explorations, scenic flights, beer and gin tastings, to the more relaxed excursions of boating and kayaking. In a nutshell, Swakopmund offers something for everyone, no matter the age.

Day tours options are designed timewise to fit in with the limited time one does have in the area, full day, morning and afternoon trips are available. The one tour that we would recommend with the scenic flight with the Namib Desert on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, it is truly spectacular to view this from the air.

  • Top 5 restaurants in Windhoek

    Top 5 restaurants in Windhoek
    Continuing our series of dining in Africa, we look at the Namibian capital, Windhoek. More and more visitors are becoming aware of the unique attractions of Namibia as a safari destination. Nowhere is too far to travel in this small (and clean) city of 330,000 but be warned when you go out to eat, vegetarianism is not common!

    Best Places To Go In Namibia
    The Uyaphi team has compiled a list of the "Best Places to go in Namibia" which most safari itineraries would include. Namibia is different from most African safari destinations. Instead of lush green forests or open savannas, the primary attraction of Namibia is vast, open deserts interspersed with canyons, mountain ranges, and oasis.
