Stayed here for a week-long surf camp in March and loved it. Really friendly people, well organised (but laidback), everything was arranged for me. Surf instructing was really excellent (I've had a few different instructors over the years–this was one of the best), and I felt like I progressed quite a lot which was really satisfying. Compared to other places I've surfed (Brazil, Peru, UK), the line-ups were basically empty and what locals there were were super friendly. Outside of surfing Swakopmund is a nice, chilled, safe and slightly eccentric town with a lot of nice places to eat and hang out. Special mention goes to all the staff but particularly Wencke on the front desk who managed to courier me the shirts I left in my room all the way back to London – and they arrived!
