Fishing in the Selous Game Reserve

What a fantastic way to add variety to your safari. Spend an afternoon on one of the lakes or patrolling the sandbanks of the Rufiji River. Maneuvring around resident hippo, your experienced guide will place you in the best spot to get stuck into the hard fighting fresh-water fish of these waters.

The lakes and rivers are home to a wide variety of catfish, some growing to many feet in length. However, the real target is the greatest of all African fresh water fish, the tiger! You'll know immediately if you've hooked into one of these, the water will explode with an acrobatic aerial display of flashing silver, blood red fins and dagger sharp gnashing teeth. In all likelihood you won't be on for long, but a bit of patience and some luck could see you landing one of the highly sought big tigers!
