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.
