By far the most-watched moment of the whole trip online — a tandem jump over the desert-meets-ocean coastline, booked through Namibia's Flying Club via Adrenaline Hunter/Manawa. The first footage cut came back too short, and the operator followed up with a redo — slow-motion on the freefall clip, plus the raw footage and clips from two other jumpers that day, a German traveler and a Chinese traveler.
A run out into the dune fields just outside town — one of the most popular ways to actually get into the desert landscape rather than just view it from a road.
Time in the water with a local surf crew, the Salty Jackals, plus general beach time on the cold Atlantic coast — Swakopmund's surf conditions are a genuine draw for a country better known for its desert.
