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.

We welcomed back Mr Saraya and his close group of friends for their third African Waters trip, having already fished Tanzania and Sette Cama. Familiar faces,...
Mountain Holiday When you commit to a Mountain Holiday at Makhangoa Community Camp, you quickly learn that December does not follow a neat plan. It follows weather, water, and people. If you are already thinking about December 2026, this is what the festive season here actually looks like, from my point of view. A ‘when...
Fly Fishing Show If you’re based in North America and thinking about fishing further afield, The Fly fishing Show this winter is a good place to slow things down and talk properly. We’ll once again be attending The Fly fishing Show in the USA in early 2026, following on from a great run of conversations...
Surf Fishing Surf Fishing has a way of revealing itself slowly in Sette Cama. This past week in Gabon felt like a turning point.
