Swakopmund’s guinea fowl population multiplied to more than 150 individuals

Swakopmunds guinea fowl population around the Lighthouse at the Mole has grown to about 150 individual birds – these are the most recent estimates by some individuals who feed them regularly. The flock of guinea fowl remains a bone of contention since the birds moved into the area some years ago. While tourists and some locals welcome the sight, others wish to move them elsewhere and describe them as a nuisance. Swakopmund has more than one guinea fowl population.
