FRESHWATER FISHING

Freshwater fishing in the Zambezi River offers an exhilarating experience amidst the stunning landscapes of southern Africa. The Zambezi River, one of the continent’s largest and most iconic waterways, is home to a diverse array of fish species, including the renowned tigerfish.

In addition to tigerfish, the Zambezi is teeming with other sought-after species such as bream, catfish, and vundu. Whether casting from the riverbanks or venturing out on a fishing expedition by boat, anglers are rewarded with the opportunity to reel in impressive catches against the backdrop of the river’s scenic beauty.

Sekoma Island Lodge

A “Robinson Crusoe” island, it teems with indigenous fauna and abundant flora and boasts more than 70 different fish species.

The waters surrounding Sekoma Island are only navigable by mokoro (dugout boat) except the northern point area which has been coverted into the Lodge’s harbour and clients.

Illombe Lodge

Ilombe Island Lodge has 5 luxury, twin bedded tents with en-suite bathrooms.

Each tent is raised on wooden decks, each with their own breathtaking view of the Zambezi River.

Each room can be easily converted in to one queen-size double or two singles. Each bed is set up with two comfortable pillows, a duvet, a warm blanket for winter and a throw-over sheet for the heat of summer. Each bathroom is supplied with soap, shampoo and towels and there is a free laundry service, just to help you cut down the over packing of clothes. Insect repellent and mosquito coils are also provided in each tent.
