Swakopmund Travel Forum

We will be touring in Namibia later in the year in a 4WD with a large portable fridge/freezer on board. We will be spending one night in Swakopmund and, with the limited availability of food supplies elsewhere, we would like to stock up with some of the excellent local fish - white fish, shellfish, lobsters, anything that comes from the sea! Can anyone give me the names and addresses of where we can buy fish (retail not restaurant). We would like as many addresses as we can get, since it is amazing how often the place one is told turns out to be closed at the day and time we get there.

Hi people,

Myself and a mate are planning on doing an Overland tour from Victoria Falls to Swakopmund in Namibia. From there we want to get to Cape Town. I’ve tried to find flights but haven’t had any success yet? Can anyone confirm if it’s possible to fly direct?

If not, what other options are available? Is there a train, or is the distance too great to go by any other means other than plane?

Also, is Namibia considered safer than South Africa?

And finally, what type of weather can we expect in Namibia around mid to late December?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Brendan

Hi,

I'm thinking of taking a wee stopover in Namibia on my way to regular travel to Luanda, so I was wondering if anybody had experience of the Town Hopper Shuttle bus or the Starline Train which run between Windhoek & Swakopmund.

all feedback gratefully received, thanks

Following an 8-day trek, I have one free afternoon and possibly one free evening in Swakopmund, Namibia. What should I be doing in that time to take away a feel for the area and not just sore feet from all the walking.

Cheers
