Lake Kariba fishing
Fishing on Lake Kariba
Lake Kariba is an outstanding location filled with plentiful fish. The lake is about 300km long and fish like the Tiger fish, Bream, Tilapia, Catfish, Barbel, Labeo and Jack is included in the fish that you will find in this great area of fresh water.
The Tiger fish have flourished in the rich waters of the lake and it is considered by many to be one of the finest game fish around. The Tiger fish is a worthy opponent for the skillful angler because of its speed, courage and strength. Fishing safaris are offered on Lake Kariba and these are usually done on a houseboat. This also offers the eager angler the opportunity not only of Tiger fishing but Bream as well or just game viewing from the deck of the houseboat.
Every year October, there is the world renowned “Tiger Fish Tournament” that is held on the lake. The Tiger fish is responsible for this and fishermen from all over the world come down to Lake Kariba. Lake Kariba is a Zambezi reservoir which is about the size of an inland sea. Here the hard-fighting tiger fish is hunted.
Kariba is amazing African wilderness on an extra large scale and therefor it’s not just the fishing that’s great but also the many islands that all harbour big game. The best time to go is September, when the water is at its cleanest and the lake hosts an international fishing competition.
