Swakopmund is Namibia’s main seaside resort on the Atlantic Ocean coast. The town has avenues of palm trees and colourful gardens.
Swakopmund is Namibia's second biggest town and traditional "summer capital" is one of the most surreal places in the country. The town is a mixture of Bohemian and Bavarian, home to artists, hippies, strait-laced descendants of German settlers, Herero women in Victorian dress, and hard-bitten miners, game rangers, safari operators and fishermen. |
