Walvis bay – Mola Mola safari

On the way from Swakopmund to Sesriem we stopped at Walvis bay. The idea was to do the Mola Mola sea safari to watch the seals, pelicans, dolphins and other marine animals. The coast was misty and cold. Our skipper Eddie was a great guy with a great sense of humor. He was making jokes all the way and he was really knowledgeable. As soon as we left the harbour we got funny visitor – an adult seal named Saddam Husein (the photo above). He just sat at the back of the boat and waiting for  the fish.

Juvenile pelican. The bird was used to humans and I could get close to him to take this shot.

Google. That’s the name of this cute baby seal. This is a cape fur seal – see my previous article about them.

I want fish!!! It looks scary, but the seals are really tame and you can caress them and feed them with the fish.

I want fish too!

Fishing industry on the sea. One of these ships was Russian, the other Chinese.

The seals were chasing us and i couldn’t believe my eyes how fast and skilled swimmers are they!

Finnaly we spoted the dolphins. Elegant creatures.

Delicacy. The fresh oysters with lemon juice and Tabasco – just great!

Mola Mola safari was a great experience and I recommend it to everyone. If you venture to Swakopmund it is worth to do a detour to Walvis bay to do a trip. Here is the link of the Mola Mola company. I was really satisfied with their service and Eddie was a great guy, he made this trip an unforgettable experience.
