Good to know

How do we get there?

  • By road – Swakopmund is well connected to Windhoek and the south via good tar roads, making it a popular stop on a wider Namibian journey.

What wildlife might you encounter?

While not a safari lodge, Strand Hotel is an excellent base for coastal wildlife experiences:

  • Marine life – Boat trips from nearby Walvis Bay offer sightings of dolphins, Cape fur seals and even seasonal whales.

  • Birdlife – Swakopmund’s beaches and estuaries attract a wide range of coastal and migratory birds, perfect for keen birders.

Why we love The Strand

It’s all about the location. Being able to walk straight out of your room, with it’s own fantastic sea views, onto the promenade for a stroll before dinner in one of the great inhouse restaurants makes this a great choice in Swakopmund.
