Making Mindful Moves along coastal shores

Making mindful travel choices helps us to slow down and appreciate the finer details of what is going on around us.

We have created a list of a few of the mindful, conscious or environmentally friendly places you can visit on your trip to the coastal town of Swakopmund.

Kharugu

Just off the main road in the charming town of Omaruru lies a hidden treasure: Kharugu’s small-scale miners’ shop. A place where authenticity meets craftsmanship, this sparkling gem of a store invites visitors to step into a world of unique gemstones, rare minerals and handcrafted jewellery – all sourced from Namibia’s licensed small-scale miners. It is an experience that is as much about supporting local artisans as it is about taking home a genuine piece of Namibian history.
