Founded in 1892 as the main harbour for German South West Africa, Swakopmund is often described as being more German than Germany.

Kaokoland

Native to the Kaokoland region. With little influence from the modern world this tribe has managed to follow its traditions and culture. The Himba people are hunters and gathers; they have large herds of cattle and goats.

The Himbas

The Caprivi is a tropical area and takes its name from the Caprivi Strip. It is surrounded by 4 rivers – Chobe, Kwando, Linyanti and the mighty Zambezi. Due to all the rivers it makes a very rich wildlife area.

This seaside town is something of an anomaly – a piece of 19th century Bavaria bordering the pinkish sand dunes of the Namib Desert. Lutheran churches, German bakeries and colonial buildings are dotted about the settlement, while its windswept beaches are home to flamingos, ostriches, seals and penguins. The nearby ghost town of Kolmanskop is one of the most fascinating area attractions, located approximately 10 kilometres from Luderitz central.

Luderitz

It is the 2nd largest canyon in the world after the Grand Canyon. Today the canyon measures 160km long up to 27km wide and almost 550m at its deepest. The immensity of this magnificent landscape is truly breathtaking. One of the most visited areas in Namibia.
