Best time to travel:
The summer months are the best time to visit the Namibian coast and areas such as Swakopmund and Walvis Bay. At this time of year it is cooler on the coast than in the interior regions.
During the German colonial era Swakopmund became a harbor of major importance. The waters along this part of the Namibian coast are generally shallow and the bays are unprotected from the Atlantic sea and harsh winds. The next better harbor of Lűderitz was too far north and had no drinking water whilst Walvis Bay in the south was in British possession.
It was in 1892 that 40 German settlers and 120 members of the Schutztruppe went ashore by rowing boats and settled in the mouth of the Swakop River. A wooden jetty was completed in 1905. This became the gateway to South-West Africa in the early 20th century. A narrow-track rail line to Windhoek was added and used to deliver shipped supplies.
The station in Windhoek was built in typical Wilhelminian style (similar to the Victorian style). Years later after the whole of South West Africa became part of a British Protectorate administered by the then South African government, it was restored and changed to become the popular entertainment centre, luxury hotel and casino it is today.
