Target Species: Tigerfish, Vundu, Bream Species.

Stretching from the gorge below Kariba dam to the headwaters of Cahorra bassa, the Lower Zambezi is the quintessential African tiger fishing destination. With her waters home to large tigerfish and her banks supporting a thriving population of big game, this venue is a great option for those traveling with non fishing members.

Tigerfish are the focus of most fishing trips to the area, but the lesser known species of Vundu, Chessa, Nkupe, bottle nose and cornish jack are always on offer. This is an autumn and spring fishery with the season running from late August to mid November . It is over these dry months that the waters recede, clear up and warm significantly. This intern prompts aggressive feeding pre spawn as the tigers move into the shallows from the deeper water. An added bonus is the concentration of game along the river banks during these dry months.
