One of the best locations to go fishing for tiger fish is almost definitely on the Zambesi River that flows through both Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Zambesi river is well known for several adventure activities such as speed boat trips, river rafting and tubing and then of course angling for that trophy fish.
The tiger fish features a silver body with red fins and black stripes, which makes it not only a tricky, but also a gorgeous fish to catch. One of the main thrills of catching a tiger fish may perhaps be when the fierce fish leaps into the air, attempting to free itself from the hook. With a row of ferocious teeth and a body that can easily weigh 10 kilograms or even more, this is quite something to see.
If you are considering organising a tiger fishing trip on the Zambesi river, you should plan your holiday anytime between September and April. This is when it's summer time in the Southern Hemisphere and the the weather is perfect for tiger fishing and all the other things to do that the Zambesi river can offer. Depending on which country you travel from you may need a passport and certain vaccinations, make sure that you investigate this as part of your preparation.
Many tour operators concentrate on all inclusive packages to Zambia and Zimbabwe, specifically including tiger fishing deals and packages. The simplest way to locate such an operator is by a quick search on the internet. Make sure to enquire about the different packages and possibilities. A typical tiger fish expedition might include plane tickets, accommodations, meals and a number of excursions on the mighty Zambesi.
Remember to enquire about the available fishing equipment at your destination. Many lodges on the Zambesi river specialize in tiger fishing expeditions and will therefore have a supply of tiger fish equipment that you can rent. Travelling long distances with cumbersome fishing rods and other equipment might be a bit of a mission and renting equipment at your destination is therefore definitely something to contemplate. The lodges will generally also have the essential bait to catch a big and shiny tiger fish with.
When you begin packing for your Zambesi tiger fish expedition, you need to make sure that you pack comfortable clothing, your swimsuit and proper shoes. Remember protection against the harsh African sun A big hat and a couple of suntan lotions should also be on your list.
If you're the adventurous fun-loving type, a visit to Zambia or Zimbabwe to go tiger fishing is undoubtedly an activity that you should put on your "to do" list.
