Dip into Africa's wild waterways

Southern Africa’s network of rivers, lakes, and floodplains provide some of the most extraordinary fishing experiences on the planet. Strict catch-and-release policies protect native species and provide livelihoods for local communities. In fact, many fishing guides come from generations of fishermen and are now passionate advocates for the waters that sustain both their heritage and their future.

For the ultimate rush, the fierce tiger fish of the Zambezi river, “Africa’s piranha”, is an unmatched challenge. The mighty Chobe and Okavango systems in Botswana offer the thrill of pursuing the powerful nembwe and the acrobatic African pike. Here, fishing becomes inseparable from the safari experience as hippos float nearby observing with skeptical eyes. For those preferring a more contemplative approach, the bream species found throughout Africa’s waters provide excellent sport on lighter tackle, perfect for families or beginners looking to add a layer of challenge to their holiday but offering enough sport to satisfy experienced anglers. The clear streams flowing through South Africa’s Drakensberg mountains create perfect habitats for rainbow and brown trout with backdrops that’ll lower your jaw.

Accommodations range from simple tented camps on remote riverbanks to luxury lodges where gourmet meals and fine wines complement days spent on the water. Our fishing journeys suit both serious anglers as well as casual fishermen and family groups. Get up close and personal to the life that spawns in Africa’s arteries and start planning your ultimate fishing journey with us today.
