"Up close with seals"

Based at Lagoon Lodge on 13 Oct 2016
"Interesting way to see the huge colony of seals. Started with an enjoyable drive with commentary by Jeanne Mientjes the tour leader.

The kayaking itself is not an adventure outing, very suitable for people with no experience in a kayak whatsoever. the attraction of course is to be so close as to be able to touch the frolicking young seals while observing the behavior of the adults on the beach. It was all worthwhile.

Jeanne provided suitable water protection gear with nice (but probably unnecessary!) snacks. Best of all she sent us all pictures she snapped of ourselves in the kayaks with the seals." Read more about this whole safari

"Jeanne is delightful!"

Based at Sam's Giardino on 21 Sep 2016
"Jeanne drove us to the lighthouse on the far side of the lagoon at Wallis Bay for our kayaking trip, filling us in about the area, wildlife and salt mining along the way. It was a wonderful experience with lots of time to enjoy the seals and many flamingoes and other birds in the lagoon. She captured some great photos and videos for us. Hot coffee and sandwiches were very welcome at the end of a rather cool, misty two hour kayak.

We really liked Walvis Bay and spent a bit more time at the end down on the promenade by the lagoon watching the hundreds of flamingoes which were gathered there." Read more about this whole safari
