For bird-watchers, the wetlands are a paradise - however, some of the cabins (on stilts) have better views than others. This is reflected in their price, but travellers wanting to look out for birds would be advised to ask for a cabin with a good outlook.
I have raised an issue about the booking in a separate email to Sabina.
At Swakopmund we took an excellent desert tour with Charly's desert tours." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Luxury in the Villa at Stiltz"
We ate the first night at The Tug (N$840) for four people including wine which was really excellent and the second night at Der Keller (N$580) which provided quantity rather than quality - the steak being tasty but requiring much chewing.
We were booked onto the day tour to Sandwich harbour, but this was frustrated by rising tides and onshore winds, so spent a day in the dunes instead (a bit anti-climatic), and the next morning kayaked on Walvis Bay. An early start, but a very strongly recommended trip - we got really close up views of the seals and their colony and more distance sightings of porpoises." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

The Stilz is in a great location and it is very easy to explore Swakopmund from there. Definitely a great place to stay in that area.
Day trip to Sandwich Harbour - We had a great day with Ernst, who was extremely knowledgeable about the area. The home-cooked lunch was also absolutely delicious!" See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 6n in Mozambique

"unique place and location"
without a car one is a bit lost "out there"
we ate at the tug every night and the walk was perfectly safe even though one is a bit wary as there is no one in the streets" See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
