BOOK YOUR TRIP EARLY
We prefer to use small and intimate accommodations, managed by local touroperators who support the local people and their environments - at the most remote and unique locations avoiding mass tourism.
These exclusive accommodations are extremely popular and are booked up very quickly. Some of them can only accommodate up to 8 people. If you are interested in any safari that we offer we advise you to contact us early so we can make arrangements and be sure to fit in the accommodation of your choice into your itinerary.
Zimbabwe rightly prouds itself having most excellent fishing opportunities. Bass, Bream and Tiger Fishing at some of the best and magnificent locations of lake Kariba and the Zambezi River.
You can break your active safaris with a short relaxing fishing safari with a minmum stay of 2 nights. But if you are a real angler you could even go on a complete 11 days combination trip.
Fancy a fishing holiday with a difference?
Lake Kariba is one of the largest expanses of fresh water in the world and is home to a diverse fish population. Hiring a houseboat is a great when it comes to fishing expeditions, you have a dry, comfortable base, a tender to venture away from the boat and fish right up by the steep shoreline of the lake.
All accommodations are situated directly near the river or the lake offering unique opportunities for an unforgetable fishing adventure. You will have the use of a speedboat or a motorized raft and will be accompanied by a local driver/guide who will take you to the best spots and teach you some of the tricks they use to catch great fish!
The luxury Lodges and the Housboat are including guide, all meals, soft drinks, speedboat and fuel.
Interested but no fishingrod?, - We can provide some rods for you against very reasonable prices.
