Unlike Rome, Swakopmund can only be reached from the north, the south, or directly on the B2 from Windhoek (a journey of around four hours). No matter which way you come, 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. This book reveals all the facets of Namibia's favourite holiday destination.
