This lush paradise, veined by the Zambezi, Kwando, Chobe, and Kavango rivers, offers an unparalleled freshwater fishing adventure far from the arid landscapes Namibia is known for.
Caprivi is famed for its exhilarating tiger fishing, drawing enthusiasts worldwide to battle these powerful predators in the Zambezi and Kavango Rivers, where specimens exceeding 8kg test even seasoned anglers.

Prime fishing unfolds during winter’s dry months, when receding water levels reveal clearer channels and aggressive feeding behavior. Glide along riverbanks in specialized charters, casting for bream amid elephant herds and hippo pods, or challenge yourself at rapids like Wenela for heart-pounding strikes. Whether fly-fishing from shore or trawling by boat, every expedition pairs world-class angling with Africa’s raw beauty—where eagles soar overhead and the grunt of hippos underscores your pursuit.
