At this location there are two customized Arabian Craft 32 foot (10 metre) boats available. Arabian Craft is one of the top boat builders and these 32 foot boats offer stability and high speeds, making your charter comfortable with most fishing time possible. They are both powered by 2 times 200 HP Yamaha outboards.

 

In the front and back part of the boats there are no additional places to sit which creates a large open space in both the front and the back. This allows you to cast and jig in comfort and facilitate a perfect drill with the fish. When traveling to the fishing spots there are big seating bags on board to sit comfortably. This makes it possible to have the large open decks on the front and back of the boats. The boats are skippered by local captians who know the area and have a lifetime of fishing experience.

 

The boats are equipped with a Garmin GPSMAP 7616xsv chartplotter featuring two Airmar Chirp transducers. It produces almost photograph-like images of the seafloor and fish passing beneath and beside the boat and is considered one of the best chart plotter available on the commercial market. This allows us to spend less time locating the large gamefish you want and more time catching them.

The locals in Tanzania tend to be friendly, wanting to share their food, drinks, and culture. For the most part, Tanzanians are polite, modest, and somewhat formal. Most people in Tanzania speak English and Swahili in addition to local language.

 

The season in Tanzania run from September till April. In the western and central parts of Tanzania have a rainy season that starts between the end of October and the beginning of December and continues until the middle of April. In this period, by far the largest part of the annual rainfall falls. The period from May to October can be called extremely dry. In the east of Tanzania, there is a small rainy season in November and December, after which it temporarily becomes drier. In March, the amount of precipitation suddenly increases significantly. This major rainy season lasts until mid-May.

 

 

Because Tanzania is practically on the equator, it is warm throughout the year. The average temperature is between 23 and 32 degrees. Locally it can be a little warmer or colder. A striking detail in Tanzania is that the winter period is not necessarily the coolest period. For example, in the west, in the vicinity of Lake Tanganyika, the temperature is at its highest in the spring (September-October). As soon as the rainy season starts, the temperatures drop a little.

 

Tanzania is reasonably safe when it comes to hurricanes and tropical storms. Most heavy depressions over the Indian Ocean do not succeed in reaching Tanzania. If they do, it is seldom a tropical storm. The chance of a hurricane is very small, although the south-east of Tanzania does have a chance of being hit by a hurricane. The hurricane season runs from November to May.
