March 8, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

Namibia's largest coastal town is a huge draw for merrymakers and vacationers from all over the globe. This seaside resort showcases its German origins in its European-style colonial architecture, creating a jarring juxtaposition against the landscape of the Namib desert. Sandboard or motorbike the dunes, dine and imbibe in a picturesque restaurant on the waterfront, or just marvel at the unusual birds and plants that populate the region.

Desert Explorers

Reviewed By garychequer - Gaborone, Botswana

This is a fantastic way to see the Swakopmund dunes, combining fun and plenty of excitement as well as beautiful scenic views. We are a family of four with teens who all have limited to no experience on quads, but were safety briefed and taught how to ride the terrain with no problem at all. The sand dune body boarding was great fun and the dunes themselves are fantastic for the quad experience. Overall a must do for thrill seekers and fun loving people alike.
