Feedback from our Guests:

  • “

    Gassa Camp was absolutely epic, I had the best time, it was a real adventure and what a fantastic location.

    The guides and camp staff were all fantastic, they really did everything possible to make sure we had everything we needed. Blaede, Riley and Dave were fantastic, they really put huge effort in and put us on some fantastic fish, really can’t give them enough compliments. 

    I’d love to be on the water again soon and I’d like to get back to Gassa Camp again. Thanks again to you and your team.

    I had an excellent time at Gassa Camp, and was looked after magnificently by Blaede, David & Riley. 

    The Faro is such a special river and I feel very lucky to have been able to fish it! Thank you again – it was an excellent trip capped off by the trophy Nile Perch.  I really hadn’t expected to catch such an incredible fish but luckily the fishing gods were with me this time!

    I will definitely recommend AW to friends & hope to be able to fish with you again soon.
