Worth knowing about Swakopmund
- Swakopmund lies 352 km west of Windhoek on the B2 road, so overland arrival from the capital is a long desert drive.
- Swakopmund has its own small airport and a station on the TransNamib line from Windhoek to Walvis Bay, but scheduled jet service uses Walvis Bay Airport instead.
- Walvis Bay Airport is 15 km east of Walvis Bay and its scheduled routes are limited to Cape Town, Johannesburg and Windhoek.
- The town sits on the Atlantic coast at the edge of the Namib desert, a long way from any other Namibian centre.
