I visited Swakopmund in September 2008. It is a lovely place but because I was a single female there was no nightlife (I was too scared). Nobody speaks to you unless you reach out first. I'm doing it again in September 2009 with hubby, and hoping it will be more fun.

Desert Sky Backpackers Lodge in Swakopmund … I've stayed in this backpackers on two separate occasions -- once in 2006 and once in 2007. I am very impressed by the place. It is very clean, not a party spot, and the owners are very professional. It is also well located -- close to the beach and downtown. The private rooms (with shared bath) are a particularly good deal. Looking forward to returning to the Desert Sky -- and arranging some lie-down sandboarding.
Dunes Backpackers Lodge in Swakopmund … A great welcome to Swakopmund. Very friendly. Jacu and Sharon do their very best to make you welcome. I live half way round the World from Swakopmund but I have a feeling I will be coming back.
