SWAKOPMUND, NAMIBIA: Africa's MOST BEAUTIFUL Town? Travel Guide to ALL SIGHTS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2023
- Welcome to Namibia! And welcome to part 3 of an incredible road trip through one of the least populated countries in the world. This country about 1,5 time the size of France mainly consists of desert landscape. In the previous two episodes we traveled along the coast of South Africa from Cape Town, to visit the first highlight of the country and the absolute number one sight: the Sossusvlei. After that we drove through no man's land to the industrial port city of Walvis Bay. We spotted flamingoes crossing the dunes in the endless desert and visited pink salt lakes.
In this episode we continue the drive along the coast to another tourist hot spot on the ocean shore. The town of Swakopmund is the most beautiful preserved colonial town, with a lot of German influences. The architecture is outstanding, but Swakopmund has more to offer. It's the beating heart of Namibian culture. We also visit the National Marine Aquarium, some shipwrecks on the so called Skeleton Coast and thousands of seals at Cape Cross. Up next will be Etosha National Park for some safari drives.
Our journey through Africa is part of a one and a half year trip around the world. We can even continue to travel indefinitely. On New Year's Day we started in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, the Canary Islands. Then you saw us in Oman, Cape Verde, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Tobago, Grenada, the Bahamas, the United States, Mexico, Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, Brazil, Qatar, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Australia and the Philippines. Zanzibar and Tanzania are already destination number 21 on the big trip. We have also been away from home for a year. Follow us on this world tour, first in Tanzania, from Zanzibar to the safari parks on the mainland and then to many more beautiful destinations in Africa! We still travel non-stop all year and film everything, with a new episode every week. Also take a look at instagram @woutoftheworld or www.woutoftheworld.nl

What a beautiful place!!! Namibia has a lot of positive things. It's clean, beautiful, peaceful, friendly, and many more. I'm from Paraguay and I can't wait to move there. Great Job!!! 💯
Hey 👋🏿 are you now in namibia ? I also wanted to move there from Nigeria 🇳🇬 I need a guide or help .
@@hoar_realtor Unfortunately not, I was there two years ago for vacation. Now I remaining in Paraguay, but I think I will move to South Africa when I finish my studies
I am a South African, I have been to Namibia 4 times, loved it, never been to such a beautiful place like this, Swakopmund is on my list for my next visit. I am thinking of relocating to Namibia. Beautiful there, it draws me to emigrate from Johannesburg to Swakopmund.
That’s lovely to hear! Cheers from the family and hope you fulfill your dream 😃🤙🏻
@@WoutoftheWorld Thankyou
Ich bin stolz und glücklich in dieser Stadt zu Hause zu sein! ❤😊☀️🇳🇦
I live in Swakopmund and come from Swakopmund
Thank you so much for come visiting my country and yeah I'm saying thank you because I live in Namibia😂 🇳🇦
Haha thank you for the nice comment. Did you see the other videos we made in Namibia too? Cheers from the family 🤙🏻
love from Tanzania wow Namibia is very clean and beautiful
Namibia continues to impress me. Looking forward to the safari next week. Thank you for the lovely video.
My Namibia. My Country. My Pride. We Love Thee 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦
I would like to visit. I'm in Canada. This country of Canada used to be nice, cold but nice, until the politicians and W.E.F. and U.N. got hold of it. Now Canada is becoming a totalitarian country. I need to get away for a while to somewhere more normal. Mr Sunshine Baby channel describes Canada's sad condition better than I can.
Keep Namibia beautiful, true and free. 🎉😊
You are welcome to visit beautiful country.
I remember Swakopmund, Lüderitz and Walwis Bay in the 70-80s. Lovely places.
SwakopCity...the nice dream of... beautiful Namibia! And production as well, thanx!
The production quality of your videos continues to be amazing. The emphasis on nature is balanced with cultural history. Great ! You must work so hard to make these. I see Namibia in a different way now. Wonderful .
You forgot to mention that Tanzania like Namibia was a German colony too!
Tanzania was Tanganyika once! My grandfather from North Germany erected the first Telefunken masts in Tanganyika! That was around 1914!!! And our GP Dr.Gromelski came from there and then to South Africa Africa! Everybody raved about that beautiful country ❤
Worth watching as always ❤
Swakopmund is such a beautiful place. Took a desert tour well there and was amazed by how much life existed in the desert. I stayed at the Strand Hotel right on the beach
Herzlichen Dank für das schöne Video viele Erinnerungen an Swakopmund & Namibia. Die Muschel ein Buchladen gehört einer Bekannten "Margit" Liebe Grüße
Das Land ist soooo wunderschön!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Ich möchte dieses Flecken gerne kennenlernen. Mich interessiert es besonders, weil dort deutsch noch verstanden wird. Ist das so?
Breath taking love the music! Miss home 🇳🇦🇳🇦
The areas of German South West Africa (now Namibia) were formally colonized by Germany between 1884-90. The semiarid territory was more than twice as large as Germany, yet it had only a fraction of the population-approximately 250,000 people.
How did you like the video? Have you seen the series of 4 episodes? Cheers from the family 😁🤙🏻
👍Swakopmund has about 20,000 German descendants living there including Germans emigrating from Europe. However, both Dutch and German descendants live in Swakopmund but Walvis Bay is predominantly Dutch descendants coz Walvis Bay was a Dutch enclave in 1700 before the British South Africa bought the enclave from them as a result of which Walvis Bay was annexed as part of Western Cape. Population size of Germans is estimated at 40,000 in 2022 whole Namibia. Dutch descendants(afrikaans) are about 250,000 in 2022.
When all this emigration and annexing took place by people of European descent why weren't indigenous Africans consulted?
@@happydays5218what country do you live in?
@@happydays5218because they don’t care about africans
@@happydays5218Can you tell me a country I the world where indigenous people were consulted before it took place? I am sure you won't tell me any because there is none.However despite our differences we made peace with those who made Namibia their home and everyday we are working towards the wellbeing of all citizens of this beautiful land we call our home.
Waaaoh is sooooo crazy 😜 love ❤️
Great video! I am going to Namibia in November and your videos are really helpful! I'm looking forward to exploring this charming town!
Great place to visit for sure

Proud Namibian, can’t wait to return home
❤
Word has it that Namibia just ended visa -free passport reciprocity with 31 countries, including the UK, US, Germany, France and a range of other European and non-European countries.
Good thing tho you can get a visa-on-arrival, so it seems more like a gesture without much of a difference.
Swakopmund is a German town in south west Africa that is my experience from visiting it last year
😍😍😍💚💚😍😍Wonderful and beautiful💚
German
Early in the 20th Century Namibia was a German Colony. After the 1st World War it became a League of Nations administered territory. Following the 2nd World War, South Africa administered Namibia, until independence in 1990.
Hi Itscyberqueen! How are you? Did you like the video? Thanks for the short piece of information. This information is also in the video right? Just wondering who it was meant for. We know all this of course. Are you Namibian? Thanks for the comment and cheers!
No! Namibia is an African country and belongs to African natives. Not European invaders!
Contrast the traffic and the street scenes of Namibian cities with those of other African cities. A difference like night and day.
nice Kuala Lumpur Shirt
Chewie!🐻😅
😂
What's the best month to visit the beach?
Hi! That would be the winter months from May to October. Otherwise it’s so hot! Did you enjoy the video? Hope you stay tuned and subscribed for more videos. We’re starting a new world trip next month. Cheers from the family 😁🤙🏻
Who cares about the beach ? The point is the lovely architecture !
Is it totally safe to travel with wife and kid?
Hi Khaled, yes it is. We haven't felt unsafe in Namibia. Are you planning to go to Namibia? We travelled around the country for a few weeks, did you watch my other Namibia videos aswell? 🤩🎥
Swakop is the most beautiful town in Africa,,,it 'belongs to all of us', and by the way thanks to the Germans,,,i am not German and i am not a Namibian
Hello! I'm Sebastião, I'm Angolan and my biggest desire is to leave Angola to live in Namibia, can you help me please??
Thanks for the comment. I don’t know how I could be of help. I do wish you all the best in your desires. Cheers and blessings from the family 😁🤙🏻
@@WoutoftheWorld Thank you very much, may God do the same with you.
It's not poop 🤣, "Tsoa-Xub" means anus yes but not literally, it means "emptying" as in "the river that empties into the "hurib" or ocean".
Potato potato 😉 it’s means excrement from anus, so poop. Every river flows to sea by the way 😂
@@WoutoftheWorld neh...? 😂😂the Okavango doesn't though...
Great content btw, stay blessed.
Watching from Canada. Avoid coming here unless you like lunacy. It's really politically crazy right now. Channel named Mr Sunshine Baby describes it better than I can. Have fun on your journeys.
😂😂😂😂😂cap…we coolin
Lol Africa cant have buildings?
I don’t know 😅 why can’t they?
Very nice.
This town is not owned my Namibians but the Germans. This town is known for the m@ssacre the Germans did to the indigenous during the occupation in early 1900 . They had a concentration camp in which they killed thousands of namibians. Today citizens are doing all they can to get this town back .
Similar to the history of my own country by the way 😅 Yes every place on earth has cruel history.. I didn’t see any Germans nowadays by the way. Hope this place will be peaceful and thrive!
i think is better for the future of Namibia to have strong connection with Germany 😊
I am an african born in Namibia, @snkrhead9191 is so problematic. You are so wrong. Swakopmund belongs to Namibia
Very beautiful to see this video of Namibia❤. I wany to visit beautiful Namibia. How can it possible for easy travel from Bangladesh? Pls anyone can say more details to help me to visit Namibia
❤
