SouthWind Destinations: Tanzania International Fishing

The Locale

Perched on the edge of the mysterious African continent, staring long into the face of the Indian Ocean, Tanzania has long been held in high esteem for enviable weather and outdoor adventure. Warm and sunny days followed by cool and balmy nights will transport you into a totally different frame of mind. From the Serengeti plains to the tropical beaches of Zanzibar, you’ll immediately notice the history and tradition of this amazing environment. And for those who aren’t afraid to skirt the beaten path, a wealth of blue-ribbon fishing opportunities await.

The Accommodations

HHK Safaris is home to one of the most enviable hunting and fishing camps in the entire country. They operate over 15 camps with guest accommodation comprising either luxury tents or thatched rondavels. Bathrooms are en-suite, with hot and cold running water and flushing toilets. All modestly-appointed rooms have comfortable beds with inner sprung mattresses and mosquito nets. Daily laundry is included in the service and ironing is done using a flat, coal-heated iron. The rooms are well lit by either 12-volt or electrical generator.

The Experience

Tiger fishing in Tanzania is an experience you’ll brag about for years to come. Catching the mighty tigerfish on the fly may very well be the most thrilling kind of freshwater sport fishing around. You’ll be pitting your wits and endurance against, pound-for-pound, the world champion freshwater fighter of all time. You can expect your catch to weigh in at around 20 pounds or more. Tanzania is the home of several prime tiger fishing rivers, despite the fact that the sport is still in its infancy. These rivers flow through unbelievable wilderness areas that boast numerous luxury camps and lodges.
