Tanzania

The coast of Tanzania offers a variety of depths that are rich in big-game fish including Giant Trevally, Dogtooth tuna, Yellow Fin tuna, Mahi-Mahi, Marlin, Sailfish, Swordfish and many more. Sportfishing in Tanzania is not so well known as it is in Kenya for example. And that is the reason that the fishing here is amongst the best in the world. Many world record fish have been caught from Tanzania. So mind you and be prepared to hook into very big fish!

The deep waters of the Indian Ocean along Tanzania’s coast are rich in big-game fish, from marlin and tuna to swordfish and biting barracudas. All the same, the waters of Tanzania are only just beginning to gain the world-wide fame of the Kenyan coast, so the waters are less populated and fishing is at its most pristine. Tuna and other pelagic migrate through the Pemba Channel on a yearly basis, but can be found in smaller numbers throughout the year. Besides the big-game fish, grouper, red snapper, and other local species are populous along the coastal waters.

Tanzania is a safe, problem-free country that boasts amazing wildlife, luscious forests and unforgettable landscapes. You will experience the crystal blue ocean, huge coral reefs, and the chance to catch a variety of fish like monster size Giant Trevally, Dogtooth Tuna and Yellow Fin Tuna, different species of Billfish, Groupers and Snappers, and many more ocean predators. This is an absolute top spot in the world of big game fishing!

This resort is located on the coast of the Indian Ocean tucked away in a mangrove forest, 90 kilometres south of the capital Dar es Salaam. The mangrove forests in Tanzania create a magical atmosphere. The wood of the mangrove trees has been an important part of local Tanzanian culture and has been used domestically and exported for many years. Additionally, many foods are found in brackish water along the mangrove roots such as crabs, shellfish, oysters and snails to octopus, sea cucumbers, sea urchins and fish.

These beautiful, unique wetlands also provide an important breeding ground for many types of fish. High amounts of nutritious bacteria provides food for growing youngsters and the roots offer protection from predators until the fish are ready to survive on the reefs or in open water. Tanzania’s coast remains a hidden gem for fisherman with no crowds and more pristine waters than other popular destinations. This gives you the opportunity to have an amazing fishing experience and catch the fish of your dream.
