Lower Zambezi Tiger Fishing Safari - Kasaka River Lodge
Destination: Kasaka River Lodge - Lower Zambezi. Season: September - November. Accommodation: 22 bed luxury en-suited tented camp. Lodge details: Kasaka River Lodge is a 22 bed luxury en-suited tented camp nestled on the banks of the Zambezi River in the Chiawa Game Management area 4 kilometres by road from the Lower Zambezi National Park - this is the only stretch on the 2,700 kilometre course of the Zambezi River where one finds National Parks on both banks of the river - the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia and the famed Mana Pools World Heritage Site in Zimbabwe. The river extends the length of the property and there are breathtaking views over the water with sightings of buffalo, elephant, hippo and crocodile. Angling (species and methods): Tiger fish, numerous bream spp, chessa, nkupe, cornish jack, bottle nose and giant Vundu. Drift Baiting, artificial lures and fly fishing are all productive. Pick up and drop off point: Lusaka. 
Other activities: Sundowner cruises and game walks, game cruising and cultural excursions. The Lower Zambezi National Park is situated about 20 minutes drive from Kasaka. The beauty of this park is that is it relatively untouched and offers a range of different habitats. The Zambezi, overhung with a thick riverine fringe, grassy floodplains inland fringed with mopane forests full of winterthorn trees and the escarpment hills, provide a dramatic backdrop to your safari experience. The National Park is home to herds of Elephant and Buffalo and offers frequent sightings of Lion and Leopard. Impala, Waterbuck and Kudu are common sightings as are Zebra, Warthog, Monkeys, Baboons and Hyena. The thrill of safari really comes to light when the sunsets and the vehicle's spotlight is used to track the animals. Civet's, Porcupines, Genets and Honeybadgers are a few of the nocturnal animals you are likely to encounter. Kasaka offers its guests early morning and late afternoon drives when the bush is cooler and the game is more active. Our new open top Land Rovers provide guests with maximum comfort when on their drives which last between two to four hours depending on the requirements of the guests and the animal activity! Evening drives will normally drive for about an hour and a half before stopping for sundowners at one of the guides' favourite spots!
