Description

City Tour of Historical Swakopmund USD 32.3. Swakopmund, known as the prime holiday resort of Namibia, was founded in August 1892 by the German Colonial Reich. For many years this town was the main harbour for the territory, being served by the mole and later the jetty. Both these structures still exist. Many historical buildings dating from that area are still being used and are rated as historical monuments. The distinct German Colonial character of Swakopmund has been well preserved and is undoubtedly a key attraction for tourists and entrepreneurs.
The walking tour of Historical Swakopmund concentrates on the historical part of Swakopmund. Your guide will relate the history of Swakopmund and explain the origin of the various historical buildings in town. These include the Woermannhaus, a superb example of early architecture, Prinzessin-Rupprecht-Heim, a striking reminder of the way of life of the early years, and the Marine Memorial, a monument of superb detail..

    Hans was prompt. His explication of Swakopmund and Southwest Africa history was clear and fascinating. I loved every minute of his beautiful clear telling of Swakopmund’s unique development. Everything he showed us was most interesting and his stories made it all the better.

    Experiencing Swakopmund, after learning about the history, culture and modern day day to day living, was much more meaningful than just walking through the town without this background knowledge.

    We had a wonderful tour of Swakopmund with our guide Hans-Dieter. The tour started at the harbor where the city originated and continued through the historical center. We saw many parts of the city, including the townships and unmarked graves that most visitors never get to see. It was an excellent way to see the city in under three hours. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a short amount of time to spend in Swakopmund. .

    The detail provided to us about the historical buildings, events and impact it had on the current “environment” were of great interest to us!.
