About Erongo Region

The Erongo Region is Namibia's coastal jewel, where the vast Namib Desert dramatically meets the cold Atlantic Ocean. This unique geography creates a landscape of stunning contrasts and incredible biodiversity.

The region's crown jewel is Swakopmund, a charming German colonial town that serves as Namibia's adventure capital. With its well-preserved architecture, excellent restaurants, and proximity to both desert and ocean attractions, Swakopmund offers visitors the perfect base for exploring the region.

From the bustling port of Walvis Bay with its famous flamingo colonies to the remote wilderness of the Skeleton Coast, Erongo offers experiences for every type of er.
