FI07 – Chobezi - Western Zambia Safari
home > self drive safaris > ea1 – chobezi safari
Introduction
 Tiger fishing is an experience not to be missed, the menacing ferocity and cunning of this magnificent fresh water fish will test even the most experienced fisherman. The Tiger fish has needle sharp teeth and is a highly experienced escape artist, which makes the use of traces a necessity and landing a scale bending Tiger fish, is an accomplishment that all serious fishermen should have under the belt.
With this in mind we have put together the perfectly packaged safari which places you in the center of the Africa's Tiger fish "hot spots", whilst at the same time allowing you to relax in the serenity of the African bushveld surrounded by an abundance of wildlife.
Safari Venues
The Tiger fish safari includes the following venues:
- Chobe National Park (Botswana)
- Victoria Falls (Zambia)
- Kabula Tiger Lodge (Western Zambia)
