Swakopmund City Tours

Tour with Jana-Marie Backhaus-Tors

Exploradio Audioguide Namibia creator Jana offers postcolonial walking tours through Swakopmund’s city centre that invite visitors to look beyond the town’s picturesque colonial architecture and engage with its controversial history in a thoughtful and accessible way.

Walking through the town, the tour explores how German colonialism continues to shape Namibia today. Along the way, Jana shares historical context on the colonial occupation, sites connected to the genocide, and the lasting impact of colonial rule on Namibian society. The tour creates space for open conversations about the difficult history, while encouraging visitors to become more mindful travellers.

With a background in African Studies, teaching, storytelling and voice acting, Jana presents complex topics in a clear, engaging and approachable way. Her tours work both as an accessible introduction and a deeper learning experience for visitors already interested in Namibia’s history.

She also offers family-friendly walking tours, suitable for all age groups and available in both German and English, with the option to include a visit to the Swakopmund Museum or the top of the Woermann Tower for spectacular views over the coastal town.

Exploradio Audioguide Namibia is a partner of Shared History Tours.
