Things to do in Swakopmund, Erongo Region: The Best Nature & Parks
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.

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.

First of all must get your permit from NWR office, Bismarck street in Swakopmund and self-drive through the desert: lichen fields, moon landscapes, remains of a 19th century war camp, ostriches and the amazing Welwitschias and other desert adapted plants.Interesting experience.

Had a great time looking at the various snakes, lizards, tortoise, and terrapin. The owners were very friendly, knowledgeable and were more than happy to share such information. One of the pythons were shedding while we were there and with a little help, changed from a rather shabby, pre shed snake, to the most beautiful iridescent creature. Quite stunning. We were also shown how docile the black mamba really is as the owner picked up the snake and handled it in a very relaxed manner. There were newly hatched terrapins and chameleons hatching. All in all a great experience.

It is not the biggest aquarium, but definitely good value. $30 namibian for foreigners and there are lots of local species to see. Definitely worth a visit.
