Fishing is possible on a catch and release basis from the bank or by boat. For those guests interested in leisure fishing, we include this as a standard camp activity at no extra cost, dependent on boat availability and/or guest numbers. The camp has some basic fishing tackle available – rods/reels/line/sinkers/hooks/steel trace as well as worms – which can be used to fish for bream, barbell, and tigerfish. We do not stock any fly fishing equipment and for serious fishermen requiring sole use of a boat, per hour cost (subject to change) will be levied, payable direct. Do bear in mind however, that our priority for the camp boats is game viewing activities for our guests.

On our first African Safari, I booked our Zimbabwe portion through Where To Africa Experiences - this was one of the best decisions I made on the entire trip.

I took 13 people to Victoria Falls for 3 nights and had a trip with Where To Africa. They made everything very easy, and the payment process was straightforward.
