Exceptions

Swakopmund Guest House is a town B&B, not a safari lodge — game drives, walking safaris and private safari vehicles do not apply. The property welcomes children of all ages and accommodates families flexibly: one dedicated two-bedroom family suite (living space with kitchenette, one bathroom, separate toilet); most luxury rooms convert to family rooms sleeping 2 adults + 2 children under 13; interleading-door rooms also bookable. Cots and highchairs available on request.
