rivergod adventures

The lower Zambezi, surrounded by two national parks is one of the wildest and most authentic African river fishing experiences available and this is the only a live-aboard fishing operation cruising down this mighty river. Whilst bream and the impressive Vundu easily are found in this region, it is the African Tigerfish that draws an anglers to this incredible ecosystem. The normal clarity of the water in this section of river means that you can also enjoy some spectacular surface action.

The freedom of pulling up for the night on a pristine island in this game rich feeding grounds and sleeping in a comfortable bed, surrounded by the sounds of the African bush, is a truly special experience.

An excellent crew, including a dedicated chef, ensure complete comfort and safety. Fishing, for these river men, is an important part of life, so you’re sure to get along famously with your hosts.

The week long cruise meanders from Chirundu, past Mana Pools and down the Mpata Gorge, ending just shy of Cahorra Bassa Dam.

It’s one of the most beautiful places on earth with spectacular fishing. Now you can do it in style in your own floating lodge.
