Coworking & Coliving by the surf in Swakopmund, Namibia

In between the sand dunes of the Namib desert and the waves of the Atlantic ocean, you find the relaxed town Swakopmund, the home to Salty Jackal. If you're into uncrowded waves, sustainable living and amazing food, this is your place to get some remote work done.

Here you'll find a home away from home, a place to meet like-minded travelers, surfers, and remote workers. When you close your laptop for the day you will join the pace of the ocean and the desert, following the wind the waves, and the tide.

Join us in our cozy 5 bedroom house in the town center, a short walk from the beach and the surf.

Travelers, remote workers, beginner surfers who are just starting to feel the stoke, to advanced surfers eagerly awaiting the perfect swell to charge the barrels of Skeleton Bay. At Salty Jackal we usually have a great crew of people around, calling Salty Jackal their home away from home.

Besides the classic cowork surf after-work group surf sessions, there is a bunch of stuff to do when you're not busy with work. Why not break up the workday with some table tennis, slackline climbing, or maybe a workout in the mini gym. When you're done, there are a few hammocks waiting for you.

If you're into even more adrenaline than you get from surfing, why not try skydiving over the world's oldest desert, or sand-boarding & quad-biking?

Once it's dinner time, since we are big foodies, delicious dinner nights and BBQs around the fire will be there for you to join.

Yoga

If you're interested in yoga, we highly recommend our Vinyasa power yoga in the desert. 5 minutes walk into the Swakop river bed, and you will feel the energy of the desert. Here Lena, our qualified yoga instructor from Germany will treat you to a far from the ordinary yoga lesson.

Extraordinary food

Cooking good food & "cooking good surf" is our motto. Sign-up dinners are meant for you to enjoy our homegrown and homemade food, directly from the veggie and herbs garden.

At Salty Jackal we're providing desks in the private rooms for our remote workers. If you instead want to get your work done in a communal setting, you are of course welcome to set up your laptop for the day in any of the communal spaces in the house. But if you're looking for a professional work vibe type of setting, we highly recommend Basecamp coworking space.

Located just 5 min on foot from SJ, Basecamp offers all the office amenities you need. Short-term to long-term packages with hot desk, or your own office space depending on your liking. Most importantly of all, comfy office chairs.

On top of the above, Basecamp is so much more than just a cowork space. It's the perfect place to learn more about the start-up scene in Namibia and to get to know the entrepreneurs around Swakopmund. Join the community by participating in one of their many events. How about open mike pitch night on Sunday?

Jackals around the car, catching barrels in front of the mesmerizing vast desert, surrounded by seals and dolphins in the water. Namibia is not your typical surf destination. And unlike some other Coworksurf destinations, Swakopmund is actually not a tropical surf paradise, but it does offer highly consistent all-year-round, high-quality uncrowded waves.

If you're a beginner surfer, we offer lessons with Isa-qualified surf instructors. The beautiful empty beaches around Swakopmund are perfect for learning how to surf. If needed we also have a wide variety of boards available for rent.

If you on the other hand are intermediate or even advanced, there are loads of pumping waves around. And besides this, we also offer strike missions to Skeleton Bay and the longest barreling wave ever known.

Surfari

Surfing with seals and camping with jackals. Joining our surfari, we'll take you on an adventurous trip to the Skeleton Coast to explore the untamed nature and more uncrowded waves. While in Swakopmund you'll work, surf or become a yogi, on weekends you'll be able to join more safaris to beautiful nature and national parks, we organize it all for you.
