This is not too rare in Galapagos. We've seen and been among them on a couple of occasions. The more time you spend out and about among the islands, the greater the odds of such encounters. One such pod was spotted in the waters off California.

Guests on our Okavango/Kalahari trip get to visit the African penguin colony at Simonstown, South Africa - it's one of the highlights of the trip. But the numbers of African penguins has been dropping due to competition for their food source by fishing fleets. Show your support by signing the petition. We did. http://only.one/act/save-african-penguins

African Penguins are on the brink of extinction, largely due to dwindling food sources caused by climate change and commercial fishing. With fewer than 10,000 breeding pairs left, we urge the South African government to establish effective no-take zones around key colonies and enforce stronger prote...

For those of you who are going on our April/May Okavango/ Kalahari trip, it looks like the Delta will be in excellent shape to receive you. The rains are falling in Botswana and, more importantly, upstream in Angola. Those upstream rains will make their way to the Okavango Delta, starting to show up just as you will be arriving. Great timing!

Etsha (pic below) is just near the western edge of the Okavango Delta.

Very glad to read that they make a distinction re: Land-based tourism as being poorly regulated, as opposed to ship-based, which is. The expedition cruise ship fleet capacity has been capped since 1998 - a great decision on the part of the Ecuadorian government.

FYI - CNH Tours is on the board of the International Galapagos Tour Operators' Association (exec. director quoted below).
