Fishing safaris -Zambezi River

Fish the Zambezi river at Caprivi all year round for tiger, bream, yellowfish, thinface and nembwe.

Fishing safaris: anglers tend to be pretty single-minded in their pursuit - preferring not to mix with others and generally best left to their own devices. With 75 species in the Zambezi and a few well selected private spots, consider the options on both the upper and lower stretches of the Zambezi River.

The waters surrounding the Islands lend themselves to great fly and spinning fishing.

The two species that anglers concentrate on are the Tigerfish and the Nembwe.

As the floodwaters of the Zambezi start to recede around July, large Tigerfish can be caught in and around the rapids.

September through to December are the months with the lowest water levels. During these months there are many rock outcrops in the middle of the river offering the fly fishermen great opportunities to catch Nembwe in the clear waters

For the experienced fly fisherman, the Upper-Zambezi Yellowfish and Thinface can be found amongst the rapids.

Catch-and-release is encouraged as much as possible, however, badly hooked specimens can be brought back to camp

The Lower Zambezi is a Mecca for fly fishermen over the months of May, June and July when fishing using lure and feather.
