What to do and see in Swakopmund, Erongo Region: The Best Things to do Good for Kids

April 30, 2022 Frederic Celentano

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.

We did a 2 hour ride in the late afternoon. Wesley was our guide and was excellent, he tailored the trip to meet our needs. We found the horses to be really well trained and cared for. The geography and scenery is interesting and the whole experience is great. Highly recommend it as part of enjoying the activities around Swak.
