Fishing on Safari

If there is water there will be Africa fishing on safari! While seasonal, you can go tiger fishing on the Zambezi while on safari in Zambia or in the Victoria Falls Area. Take a boat out for the day for some deep sea fishing for tuna and marlin on the coast of Mozambique, Tanzania, South Africa, Kenya or the Seychelles.

For a truly epic adventure, take a helicopter up 12,000 feet to the lakes on Mt. Kenya; or fly-fish in the crystal waters of Lake Alice in Meru.

Kids love fishing in Africa in the dam while at Makanyi Lodge in South Africa.

Cast your line and see what surprises you.
