Tigerfish in Namibia - Zambia- Mozambique
Tiger Fish are by many considered the ultimate freshwater game fish. If you have ever tried the violent take and fierce fight of a big Tiger, you will have to agree with this.
Lax-a can offer you a number of fishing options across Southern Africa mainly on the mighty Zambezi river and its tributaries as well as on the mighty CaborraBassa Dam. The fishing is taking place in remote very beautiful areas with lots of game and combines nicely with some additional days of game viewing.
To really get the best out of your Tiger fishing trip you will need to go with a good guide. We organise private guided trips for groups of 3-8 fishermen with some of Southern Africa’s best guides. Availability is limited, please book well in advance.
This new camp is located in the remote unspoiled Barotse Flood Plains on the upper Zambezi river in Westhern Zambia. During only 3 years of operations it has established itself as one of the prime destinations for abundant numbers of big Tigers. Beautiful tented lodge on the bank of the river. Season June to October. Due to its remoteness it is best accessed by charter plane from Johannesburg or Lusaka.
The ultimate in luxury and exclusivity. In the middle of the complicated net of waterways that meets close to the point where four countries meet (Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe) there is a small luxury lodge on a small island that will accommodate up to 8 guests. Book the lodge for your own exclusive use and spend the days exploring the rivers for Tigers and the evenings relaxing on the sun downer deck enjoying gourmet meals and great wines. Your trip will be hosted by one of South Africa’s most experienced and knowledgeable fishermen and writers. Trips start and end in Kasane in Botswana. Season June to November.
Close to Ntwala Island lodge and fishing the same areas, you will find Impalila Island Lodge. Great location, great food and service and great fishing.Hosted trips for 3-8 anglers.
On the remote Southern side of the giant CaborraBassa Dam you will find Nhenda Lodge, a small, rustic, family run lodge with good food, cold beers and some of the best fishing on the Dam. There are many little bays and inlets in the vicinity of the lodge where Tigers can be found and caught. Our private guided tours for 3-6 fishermen starts and ends in Johannesburg airport from where we fly to Tete in Mozambique, then drive 4-5 hours before sailing across the Dam to the lodge. This is Africa as it once was. Season March to December.
Some of the finest, wildest and most productive African fisheries are found in Tanzania. Here fishermen have a real opportunity of landing tiger fish of over 20lb’s. In fresh water this is almost unheard of. Now combine this fact with the speed, strength, aerial antics and aggressive nature of the tiger fish, and dump it all in river flowing through one of the words last true wilderness areas, home to big game, and then you may begin to get an idea of just how unique this fishery is. Tented camps in remote wilderness area.Season August to November.
Congo’s fabled GOLIATH Tiger fish have been recorded in excess of 50 KG! However due to the huge size and depth of the Congo river and the inaccessibility of the areas, very few have ever been caught on the fly. We have over the last year been involved in exploring a new Tiger fishing operation on the Congo river and have found places where the Goliaths can successfully be targeted with the fly. This is still work in progress and adventurous anglers wanting to try for 10 KG+ Tigers can join us on explorative trips in the period June to September.
