What you'll do

The Zambezi River may appear serene but there is a whole world of activity going on beneath the surface. Whether you're an expert angler or just dipping your toes in the water, most lodges in the area offer a fishing excursion where you'll cast a line in the hopes of catching one of its many species. The river is filled with chessa, tilapia, catfish, nkupi and, the greatest of them all, the tiger fish. Trying to reel in one of these powerful, sharp-toothed fish makes for some memorable stories and, of course, you'll return them to the water to live another day. Time it just right to enjoy a few drinks as the Zambezi turns gold under the setting sun.
