Namibia - Freshwater
Zambezi - Tiger Fish
Fish the mighty Zambezi as well as the Chobe, Kasai and Kando Rivers in the heart of Africa. You can look forward to fly fishing and traditional angling for a variety of African species accompanied by professional guides. The waters around Impalila Island remain virtually unfished. The stage is set for tussles with the Zambezi tigers, arguably the world's hardest fighting game fish, and the most striking of the largemouth bream species - the Nembwe. The Kasai Channel which links the Zambezi with the Chobe River is capable of producing monster fish.
