Angling for Tigers in the Zambezi

If you are looking for a great morning leisure activity on the Zambezi River while staying at the Avani Victoria Falls resort, you can’t go wrong with a tiger fishing excursion.

Catching a tiger fish is one of the most exciting and challenging encounters for avid anglers, and angling for them on the Zambezi is an unforgettable African experience. Rated by many sports anglers as the finest freshwater fighting fish in the world, this powerful and swift predator is sure to give you a good run for your money.

With over 75 species in the Zambezi, there is a good chance of experiencing that great snapshot moment before you release your catch back into the waters.

Avani uses specially designed propeller-free safari boats to reach the best fishing spots. The fishing starts about six miles (9 km) above the falls and gradually moves downstream, exploring the narrow channels, enjoying fishing, great birding and spotting river wildlife. Non-fishing partners are welcome to join the river safari experience via special non-fishing partner rates.
