FISHING

Fishing equipment is supplied by the Lodge.

Sharp tooth Catfish (Barbel), Mozambique Tlipia (Bream), Squeakers, Tigerfish, Small Mouth Yellowfish, Mudfish

Apart from the relaxing aspect of fishing, it is a glorious way to be at one with the bush, listening to the chirping of the various bird species or the sounds of hippos in the distance.
