There are few fishing experiences to match the thrill of tiger fishing on the Zambezi River. Tiger fish are renowned for their spirited fight, making each catch an adrenaline rush. At Time + Tide Chongwe Camp, Chongwe Suites and Chongwe House, guests set out with experienced guides to cast their lines into deep channels where the tigers lurk. The breathtaking river scenery is enhanced by frequent sightings of elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and a host of other wildlife drawn to the water’s edge, adding to the sense of adventure.
All fishing equipment is provided, and all fishing is catch-and-release, helping to protect these fish for generations to come. Whether you are a seasoned angler or simply looking to try something new, the combination of abundant wildlife, spectacular landscapes, expert guidance, and the possibility of landing Africa’s most exciting freshwater game fish is a highlight for many guests.
