Fishing in Tanzania

Tanzania offers some of the most pristine and rewarding fishing experiences in East Africa, with both deep-sea and freshwater opportunities that attract anglers from around the world. Along the Indian Ocean coastline, the waters teem with prized game fish including Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, Giant Trevally, Dogtooth Tuna, Mahi-Mahi, and Barracuda, making it a paradise for big-game fishing enthusiasts.

The fishing grounds off Tanzania remain relatively undiscovered compared to neighboring countries, presenting anglers with less crowded waters and exceptional catch potential. The deep channel between Pemba and Zanzibar reaches depths over 820 meters, offering world-class fishing expeditions. Other premier fishing locations include the Rufiji Delta near Kilwa, Mafia Island, Latham Island off Dar es Salaam, and the waters around Bagamoyo.

Seasonal variations bring different species, with billfish like Blue, Black, and Striped Marlin, Sailfish, and Swordfish typically abundant from August through March. Year-round catches include Kingfish, Dorados, Barracudas, Giant Trevally, Ruby Snappers, and Wahoo. February through April brings massive schools of Dorado, especially near the Rufiji River Delta outflows.

Tanzania fishing charters provide well-equipped boats with experienced captains who know the local waters intimately. Most vessels come outfitted with essential fishing gear, GPS navigation, fish finders, and other modern equipment to maximize your chances of a successful trip. Many operators practice tag-and-release for conservation, especially with billfish species.

Whether you're trolling offshore for pelagics, bottom fishing for grouper and snapper, or exploring the inland lakes and rivers for species like Nile Perch and Tiger Fish, Tanzania's diverse fishing environments offer something for anglers of all skill levels and preferences.
