the tigerfish of the Zambezi

Experiences

Fishing

Catch-and-release fishing for the Zambezi's famous tigerfish, guided from the lodge's own boats.

The Zambezi in front of Lolebezi is tigerfish water — fast, clean and generous. Guided catch-and-release sessions run from the lodge's boats, with all tackle provided and guides who know every channel and drop-off on this stretch of river.

Whether you are chasing a first tiger or a personal best, the setting does half the work: hippo grunting in the shallows, fish eagles overhead, and the afternoon light coming down the river.
