fun facts: Namibia has a population of about 2-3million and yet one of the most diverse demographics. 2nd least population density English is the official language but Afrikaans(Dutch-ish) is spoken mostly in the South including swakopmund. Gained independence in 1990. Oldest desert in the word, I think Oldest tribe in the world (San people) Some of the most beautiful women in the world😎

I don't know what time of the year you were there, but it seems like you experienced some Bergwind conditions. It happens during the Autumn / Winter. It would not have affected the decision so built the town there, because it happens so very infrequently. Not every time you see sand blowing it qualifies as a sand storm. Especially between Swakopmund and Walvisbay, where it is the case almost daily, because the wind blows over the sand dunes on the interior (eastern) side of the road. In the Windhoek video you did not mention that after WW1, Namibia was actually a British protectorate, but South Africa took over from them after WW2.

@@towera I hope u went thru the long JETTY into the sea in Swakopmund. Am not sure if it was open when u were there coz I read something early this year like it has been closed for renovations. U can also go sandboarding in desert Swakopmund, Camel riding in desert, dune driving, ballooning and aerial flights. Moreso, u can visit one of the highest sand dunes in world, Dune 7 east of Walvis Bay and no visit to Namibia and Coast is complete without visiting SANDWICH HARBOUR which is some 45km west of Walvis Bay along the coast. That is exactly where the highest dunes meet the sea with dunes as high as 200 metres kissing the sea. Moreso, u can go north of Swakopmund to Henties bay town 80km along coast in Skeleton coast national Park and see shipwrecks along including the largest seal colony in the world at CAPE CROSS SEAL RESERVE. LASTLY, no visit to Namibia is complete without visiting Southern Namibia's famous tourist attraction called SOSSUSVLEI where u find Deadvlei (dead trees). It's a UNESCO world heritage site. Infact the whole place from Sossusvlei to Sandwich harbour is called NAMIB SAND SEA under UNESCO. U HAVE dunes like BIG DADDY which is as high as 325metres.

@@towera Oh yes one day is not enough. At least 3 days. Swakopmund is bigger than Walvis Bay although Walvis Bay has 103 000 people compared to 75000 for Swakopmund. However, next time when In Swakopmund go northwards of it along the coast say 6km along the coast north of Strand Hotel that's where there is the largest mall in Swakopmund and variety of restaurants overlooking sea. It's called AM MEER PLATZ MALL. THERE is a paved prominade (walkway) along the sea from strand until the mall am talking about. So u dnt need to take a car if u want, u can just walk along the bank of the sea. I prefer to give people more information. There are also alot lodges in same area.

Btw, what you showed around the 9 minute mark isn't our Namibian State House (which is in Windhoek), but the German colonial governor's office. Architecture in Swakopmund is great, but often-times either left in shambles or infested with....well, see above....Still a great place in the festive season, when it it is overcrowded, including late at night.

The Black African majority in Namibia needs to OCCUPY Swakopmund by RESTRICTING the number of non-Namibian ( non citzens) business owners and land owners. It is up to the Namibian to be more pro-active on this front.
