After a ten day Break the Guides and Camp staff were extremely eager to get the next group of guests in camp. Phil Headed out to the Airport to welcome the guests and get them out to Gassa camp. This group consisted of Rob, Mike and Kerry who were from South Africa and Dave, from...
The wind has been relentless the last two weeks, and it did not look like it was planning on slowing down for the third week of the 2022 season in the Deep South. We were holding thumbs that it would give us a break, but to no avail. None the less, we headed out early on...
“Africa is not for sissies”, the thick bush in Cameroon along the Faro river is definitely the location that this saying originated from. Immense, debilitating heat, leaving you constantly covered in sweat. The Tsetse flies swarming around you from dawn to dusk trying their best to spill your blood and avoiding any attempt to swat...
A hot and dusty drive into camp, an ice cold beverage and a shower to wash the dust and grime off body and throat alike while hippos grumbling further upstream in their nightly chorus and the odd call from a Pels Fishing Owl perched in the taller trees that line the Faro. This is wilderness...

Who would have thought that a group of septuagenarians could compete for the group of guests with the most gees for the Bokong season? They arrived in camp full of smiles, introducing themselves by their schoolyard nicknames and immediately began setting up rods for a quick late-afternoon and evening session in the sparkling clean water...
“Davieeee, howzit boet, listen here, how is the river looking right now?”, screeches my phone with the war cry of an impending visit from the feather mechanic. “Bru, it’s flippen insane right now. There are more fish here than rocks”, I send back. And so began 5 days of some of the best fishing I...
Baselines always shift, but Sette Cama has a habit of completely going above the normal standards. We unfortunately only had one day of rain which I would of termed as hard rain, apparently it was but a drizzle. The fishing was unbelievable, yet still apparently slow. This place goes above and beyond. This week we...
