Nyerere Dam Nyerere Dam is opening a different kind of tigerfishing opportunity in Tanzania, and it is important to say this clearly from the start. The Shangaa Tigerfish Experience is not here to replace Dhala and Samaki Camps. Those fisheries on the Mnyera and Ruhudji Rivers remain the flagship Tanzania tigerfish experience within African Waters....
Gabon Fishing Trip This Gabon fishing trip saw a group of South African anglers return for another week on the coast. A mix of spinning tackle, bait setups and a few fly rods meant they were set up for whatever the week brought. From the start, there was no shortage of action. The group settled...
Fishery Conservation When you think about fishery conservation, it is easy to picture rules, patrols, and remote river systems. At Dhala and Samaki Camp in Tanzania, fishery conservation is far more practical than that. It is built into the daily work that happens before a guest arrives, during the season itself, and long after camp...
Community Conservation Community conservation is often spoken about in broad terms. At Makhangoa Community Camp it is something you can see unfolding in real time, often in the form of a simple school drop-off. With another season at MCC coming to an end, it feels right to reflect on a moment that always stands out....
Tarpon Fishing West Africa Tarpon fishing West Africa is not built on easy weeks. It is shaped by wind, shifting moods and short feeding windows that reward anglers who stay focused when chances are few. This past week looked promising on paper. The tides were right. The structure held fish. But the wind had other...
Sette Cama Gabon fishing Sette Cama Gabon fishing is rarely predictable. Some seasons the tarpon arrive early and settle into the mouth quickly. This season they have been fewer and farther between, arriving later than usual, which has made every proper encounter feel earned rather than routine. If you have fished here before, you will...
Mountain Holiday If you are considering a Mountain Holiday that combines technical fly fishing with big landscapes and quiet evenings, this particular week in the Lesotho highlands showed exactly what that can look like. This past week we welcomed a lively group of longtime friends who had organised the trip as a chance to reconnect...
Tarpon in Port Gentil If you’re planning Tarpon Fishing in Port Gentil, understand this early. The ocean shapes your week. We welcomed back a group of Zimbabwean anglers who have fished with us at several of our destinations. These are seasoned fishermen. They know that big tarpon demand patience and that every tide window counts....
Smoked Trout If you have ever searched for smoked trout, you have probably found dozens of complicated recipes. At Makhangoa Community Camp, we approach it differently. Here, smoked trout starts with the river and ends a few metres from the kitchen. We are strictly catch and release on the Bokong River. The only exception is...
African cubera snapper African cubera snapper was the phrase on everyone’s lips this week in Gabon, even if not everyone knew it yet. A mass migration from the lower Albany area of the Eastern Cape arrived in a familiar cloud of laughter, beer, and voices all sounding suspiciously like Ed Truter. Many of the group...
