From the incredibly aggressive takes from tigerfish to the grouse-like shooting of rock pigeons, there is something for everyone. Many lodges now combine their sporting side with safari or game drives so taking the family along is also an option.

Our Top Picks

Royal Zambezi Lodge - Royal Zambezi Lodge is a luxurious family owned lodge on the banks of the Lower Zambezi river in Zambia. It provides an unspoilt and unforgettable safari experience suitable for families or individual travellers. The fishing is exciting and often combined with the sight of elephants crossing the river or lions sleeping on the river bank. There are a variety of activities including vehicle safaris in the Lower Zambezi National Park, canoeing trips, river cruises, a spa and of course fishing for a variety of species.

Tanzania Tiger Fish - This is the best fishing for the big tiger fish that we are aware of. It is also what we term as an easy adventure. There are small planes, vehicles and boats involved and this is a remote destination but it works and is relatively easy. The fish themselves, though hard-core predators, are utterly beautiful and their take must be among the hardest you will ever experience with a fly rod. Due to that extraordinary row of teeth, the only response to the take is pull back equally as hard and never yield!

Bird Hunters Africa - Pigeons are considered by many to be one of the top sporting birds. They are fast, agile, wild and have exceptional eyesight, these attributes combine to create a very challenging bird to shoot. If you want to shoot high volume numbers then there is no place better than South Africa. Every day is literally a red letter day. If you want proper high volume then our dove shootings lodges will most likely appeal more. If you want high volume combined with some very challenging shooting then look no further than rock pigeon shooting in South Africa.
