Word of Mouth

I love getting salty with the Jackal! I’ve gone out with the Salty Jackal’s surf classes a half dozen times over the last year and really enjoyed each time in water. Namibia offers diverse opportunities for surfers of all levels…as a beginner, I found it to be a great place to learn. The instructors helped to choose the right level for the conditions. The beaches around Swakopmund are gorgeous, with the dunes rolling to the water…it’s amazing to look back to land and see the vast expanses of Namib desert. I can’t recommend Salty Jackal enough for some fun in the surf!

I spent the last two weeks in the surf camp here and can fully recommend the Salty Jackal!!
I’ve been to a few other surf camps and I have to say that I’ve never experienced such a familiar and relaxed atmosphere…
Despite all the serenity, the surf camp is run absolutely professionally, everything is well organized and the employees are not above helping and organizing leisure activities such as quad biking, day trips or multi-day safaris.

Their guided surf tours are awesome! Perfect if you are staying in Swakop for a few days, do not know where the local breaks are, and are looking to catch some waves.
