We travelled as a family, including our 6 year old daughter. From the moment you are picked up for the sea plane journey, the excitement builds. We had seen beluga whales and our first polar bear by the time we had arrived. The lodge itself is the remotest place we have ever been. It's very comfortable and clean, and because... More

I had been bent on seeing polar bears and wanted something better than tundra buggies. This was the only tour company that i could find that would allow you "up close and personal" with polar bears on foot. I even talked my girlfriend coming along. We did see polar bears, but the birds and belugas was a bust, especially the... More

First let me get one thing straight, if you are in doubt whether this is worth the money, YES it is! Me and my boyfriend were looking into seeing the polar bears, and what better place is there then the Churchill area. By doing some research on the internet we were in a dilemma whether to go on a tundra... More

The word ” unique” is often used to describe travel experiences and all too often you are left disappointed as the reality often fails to live up to your expectations. Mike and Jeanie Reimer and the whole team at Seal River deliver an exceptional experience that allows you to observe Polar Bears up close and at eye level whilst staying... More

I recently spent a week in the Seal River Lodge. My purpose was to photograph polar bears from a ground level perspective. It always amazes me when I travel to a remote place and have a five star experience. The lodge has done an excellent job of providing a comfortable environment, outstanding food and service and an outdoor wildlife experience.... More

My wife and I just returned from one of the most amazing trips we have been on. We had been wanting to view polar bears for some time, but were not sure that "Tundra Buggies" were the way we wanted to experience them. Then we discovered Churchill Wild. We decided to go on the Photo Safari because we wanted the... More

In 1995, my wife Valerie and I canoed the Zambezi from Mana Pools to Mozambique. It changed me. I moved inexorably from writing fiction to writing about wildlife, a move that has rewarded me in every way you can imagine. Above all, it provided the excuse to see wildlife I never dreamed I would ever see, from Australian desert to... More

We went on the Polar Bear Photography trip My husband is a pretty serious about photography, I'm more a novice but this trip was great for both of us. The lodge is lovely, very comfortable. The accommodation is fairly basic but its all you need - most important is that it is very clean and very comfortable, I've never slept... More
