If you book a Zambezi fishing tour with a professional fishing guide, you will set off on a small boat, drifting peacefully between the Zambezi River’s channels, mild rapids, and small pools. Close to the Falls, these tried and tested local hotspots have consistently proved themselves, regularly producing prized catches including Tigerfish and the Yellow-Belly Bream.  Further upstream, you have the opportunity to explore some uncharted fishing territory.

The Upper Zambezi River is a premier all-year-round fishing destination, but as with any fishing spot, there is always a chance fish just don’t bite. Although such a day may leave you disappointed, the Upper Zambezi River’s exquisite natural beauty ensures a memorable experience no matter the catch.

Among the international fishing community, Tigerfish are revered as one of the world’s most prized freshwater fish. This ferocious species of game fish is infamous for its immense power, unbelievable stamina, and frightening jaws.

Growing up to 15 kg, Tigerfish are considered some of the most feisty and ferocious fighting freshwater predators around. This guarantees a fight you will never forget, while a photograph with your prized catch show two sets of teeth – the Tigerfish’s immense chompers and your beaming white smile.
