Fishing for the legendary Tigerfish and bream on the mighty Zambezi River and the smaller, more graceful, Chobe River not only provides an exciting fishing experience, but excellent game viewing (crocodile, hippo, even elephant and buffalo) and birding as well.
The Tigerfish, up to 18lbs of pure fight, is primarily a summer fish that grows more active in warmer water (September to February). During the rest of the year, depending upon water levels in the rivers, June/July is the best time for winter tiger fishing.
A wide range of Bream (yellow bellied, thin faced, hump back, three spots – their taste is similar to tilapia) are generally caught in winter (June – August), with weights up to 3kg.
Occasionally barbel (catfish) of up to 18kg are caught during the winter months as well.
Fishing is done by boat positioned near banks and mid-river rocks. All equipment for fly-fishing, as well as spinners, spinner baits and a wide range of Bass-type lures, are provided. A knowledgeable guide is on hand for all expeditions, which take place in top-quality boats.
