We try and differentiate ourselves from our competitors by going the extra mile on service.
The best things to do in Swakopmund are the living desert tour, the Kuiseb river Historical tour, the sandwich harbour trip and the dolphin cruise. Of course a scenic flight over the dunes and the coastline is also amazing. A visit to our little museum is a must. The botanist can visit the famous Welwitchia plants on the "moon landscape" Of course there is nothing wrong with recharging your batteries with a cold glass of fine wine and watching the Atlantic waves roll in. Skydive? Quad bikes in the dunes? and plenty more!
