Fishing Information

Related to the infamous Piranha, the Tigerfish (Hydrocynus vittatus) is renowned for its fighting spirit and voracious hunting abilities.

Depending on your preferences and skills, he can be caught by fly rod, bait or lure and, whatever the method, is one of the greatest freshwater game fish in the world.

The Lower Zambezi offers some of the very best opportunities for Tigerfishing and with over 40km of river frontage available, both novice and seasoned anglers are virtually assured the challenge of landing this fine fish.

Tiger are considered the prime big game fish but the river also offers great fishing for tasty bream, the abundant chessa and the old man of the river, the vundu! The best months for angling are September through to November and March through to June, however due to the high temperatures experienced in the Zambezi Valley, fishing is virtually a year round past-time!
