About: Picturesque Swakopmund

No matter which way you come to picturesque Swakopmund, the approach leads through increasingly dry countryside that morphs into a barren moonscape punctuated by tall dunes. One begins to wonder and worry a little – and then Swakopmund appears like the pearl in an oyster. A little oasis with a curious German character, thanks to its well-preserved, stately colonial buildings dating from 1884 to 1915.

Swakopmund is known for its hospitality and good cuisine, but there is more to it than that. It also offers a range of outdoor pursuits, excellent fishing, a clutch of interesting museums right in town, and a modern casino to boot. Picturesque Swakopmund reveals all the facets of Namibia’s favourite holiday destination.

Dr. Sandie Fitchat is a Namibian linguist and freelance media service provider.

Sheldon Kotzé is an award-winning filmmaker living in Namibia.
