Tiger Fishing

Feel the adrenaline kick in as you cast your line into the deep channels of the Okavango River, home to the fierce and fast tiger fish. Known for their lightning strikes and acrobatic fights, these freshwater predators are a challenge even for seasoned anglers. Whether you’re a first-timer or a keen fisherman, tiger fishing offers the perfect blend of skill, patience, and excitement — all set against a backdrop of lush riverbanks, calling fish eagles, and drifting papyrus. Most lodges in the Caprivi Strip and northeastern Namibia offer half-day and full-day guided fishing excursions, where the focus is on catch-and-release. It’s not just about the catch — it’s the thrill of the chase, the shared laughs, and the stories you’ll tell long after the sun dips below the waterline.
