"Brilliant

Not to be missed" Read more about this whole safari

"An early morning start, mist rolling in from the sea as we set off the short distance to Walvis Bay to join another couple on this trip.

Our helpful and friendly guide was superb, informative about the wildlife in the area and passionate about the wildlife and its security. This is a must do trip interacting with playful seals and guided expertly by our guide.

A return to shore and she produced steaming cups of coffee and some fabulous sandwiches and pastries.........so glad they were after the kayaking otherwise I might have sank mine!!!!!!" Read more about this whole safari

"Excellent trip... Jeanne has a real passion for what she does and is totally respectful to the environment. She is also very skilled at driving through sand!

The kayaking is very easy and the sea was full of seals, bobbing up and down and leaping into air. They seemed to enjoy us being there and were very interactive...they would nibble at the end of the oar, or even liked having their tummy tickled ;-).

We also saw flamingoes, jackals and other sea birds. This was our highlight in Swakopmund by far!" Read more about this whole safari

"Kayaking with Seals was a major highlight of our trip. The whole experience is incredible and overwhelms the senses.

Jeanne is passionate about what she does and it shows. She's been doing this for many years and knows all the tricks about how to make the excursion a great experience. For example, we were so busy watching the seals and paddling, we didn't get many pictures of ourselves. While we were interacting with the seals, Jeanne took pictures and videos of the guests and she emailed them to us that evening.

It's hard to adequately describe this experience to others and these pictures and videos are great to have." Read more about this whole safari

"Wow! Jeanne has been running these trips for over twenty years and her wisdom and enthusiasm couldn't have been bettered.

All the equipment was top notch and the little extras, such as neoprene gloves, incase you're nipped, most welcome. All VERY well organised.

Her expert knowledge of the local bird life and other wildlife in the area was an added bonus.

A chance of a lifetime and definitely not to be missed." Read more about this whole safari

"Wonderful morning kayak trip.

We got quite close to the thousands of seals that live at Walvis Bay. Many seals had young pups. They're very loud and amusing creatures.

We also saw jackals, flamingos and other animals I can't remember the name of.

The host was very knowledgable about the area and super organised." Read more about this whole safari

"Another clear, sunny day for our day kayaking with the seals. Jeanne is a brilliant guide and very reassuring. We were not disappointed. It was a wonderful experience being so close to the seal pups and they are very familiar with tourists. Jeanne made sure we kept a respectful distance from those on the shore. All the equipment needed is provided and in addition we had a lovely sandwich, cake and coffee break. By that evening, we had already received the photographs and short videos Jeanne had taken of us." Read more about this whole safari
