Useful Information

The fishing is very good on this side of lake Kariba and the best tiger fishing is at Sengwe River - which is a good days cruise from Binga.

Relax and enjoy the vastness of the Sengwa Basin and the contrasting narrowness of the Chete Gorge   

The Kariba shoreline is mainly Forestry dept area where hunting is permitted. The game are shy and although not seen in the abundance of Matusadona, they are are still plentiful

All round better fishing opportunities are to be found at Binga - the islands are home to plenty of game and the lake is not as busy as the more popular Kariba town side
