About Your Trip

Discover a safari experience like no other with this unforgettable fishing excursion on the banks of the Lower Zambezi! Prized species such as Tiger Fish and Vundu make the Lower Zambezi any sport angler’s dream destination.

The mighty Zambezi River is home to some of Africa’s biggest and toughest Tiger Fish, with catches of up to 16lbs not uncommon. Don't miss out on this chance to land one of the world’s most prized sport angling fishes! The best time of year for fishing is when the waters start to warm up from the end of August through to November. Great fishing is also experienced during the winter months, depending on tactics and method. Please note, a strict catch-and-release policy is enforced.

Nestled along the magnificent banks of the Zambezi River lies a place of untamed wilderness and adventure. This will be your “home away from home”, where delicious hearty meals fuel you for days on the water, where tired limbs are refreshed in the cool swimming pool or with a soothing massage, and where tales of river monsters are shared around the evening fire pit.

All fishing is done off 18ft aluminium boats, which are fitted with 75 – 150hp motors. Each boat carries two anglers and a professional guide. There is ample storage and seating areas for three people. Boats are equipped with two-way radios and first aid equipment. Your professional guides have all spent extensive time guiding on these rivers, so you can be assured that they know these waters intimately and will ensure you have a safe and enjoyable fishing experience.

Whilst gear and tackle can be provided, it is recommended that avid fishers bring their own equipment.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
