Experience the Thrill of Tiger Fishing

4-Night Tiger Fishing Package from USD 2,490 per person

Famous for its explosive strikes, razor-sharp teeth, and incredible fighting spirit, the Tigerfish is regarded as one of the world's greatest freshwater game fish. The deep channels and fast-flowing waters of the Lower Zambezi create the perfect environment for these remarkable predators, offering anglers an unforgettable catch-and-release fishing experience.

Luxury Accommodation in the African Wilderness

Nestled within the Chiawa Game Management Area, bordering the renowned Lower Zambezi National Park, Baines' River Camp offers an intimate safari experience in one of Zambia's most spectacular wilderness areas.

The camp features eight beautifully appointed luxury suites and a spacious two-bedroom family unit, accommodating a maximum of 20 guests. Surrounded by unspoilt nature and overlooking the Zambezi River towards Zimbabwe's UNESCO-listed Mana Pools National Park, the camp provides the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and exceptional hospitality.

Your Tiger Fishing Experience

This specially designed four-night package gives anglers maximum time on the water with two guided fishing excursions every full day—one in the morning and another in the afternoon. With a strict catch-and-release policy, you'll have multiple opportunities to hook and safely release the legendary Tigerfish while enjoying expert guidance from experienced fishing guides.

Guests who would like to take a break from fishing can substitute an excursion with one of the camp's other safari activities.
