Both towns offer ocean air and desert beauty but serve different vibes:

  • Swakopmund: Charming and quirky, with German colonial architecture, cafes, and adventure sports like sandboarding and skydiving.

  • Walvis Bay: More industrial, but home to stunning lagoons filled with flamingos and great kayaking opportunities. Swakopmund is ideal for leisure and walking tours, while Walvis Bay is for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. Why not visit both?
