You don’t know whats hot until you have been to the Zambezi in October. 43 Degrees in the shade is the order of the day and you will have to wait until at least 2:30 AM before it starts cooling down.

The trip there was as exciting as the the fishing itself. We, My Dad, Andre, Victor and I, flew to Lusaka in Zambia with South African airways as the first part of the journey. We were received there by a travel agent that helped us through customs and into a 4×4 in minutes. The service was something I have never experienced before. From there we got moved to a domestic airport where we were greated with some beers in hand. Enough time for a smoke and then into another little plane for the next leg of the journey that took about 45 min. to a airstrip right next to the Zambezi river about 10 min drive from our camp Kasaka.

Our days started at day break with a friendly knock-knock at the tent opening ( Since there is no door to knock on our guide just said knock-knock until he got some response from someone inside the tent ).

The tents are permanetly fixed with solid bathroom walls and beautifully furnished with dark wooden furniture.

We did 2 fishing trips a day, one in the morning that finished around 11 and another in the afternoon until just before dark.

The Yellow Shirt competition was won by everyone on the trip at some point in time ( Goes to the one that has caught the biggest fish to date ). Victor won with a 13 Pound Tiger.

We had a few visitors on the camp from time to time – Even got chased out of the pool once.

The last day of fishing we ended with a quick trip back to camp through the game park and ran into a nice pride of lions.

Dad, Vic, Andre – Thanks guys it was awesome !
