Tafika Zambezi Fishing Camp

Tafika Zambezi is derived from the local Shona dialect ?Tasvika Zambezi', meaning we have arrived on the Zambezi. You will have arrived at one of our most scenic and best appointed camps in the heart of the Lower Zambezi Valley. This area offers fishermen the opportunity to fish for Africa's premier freshwater game fish, the tigerfish while enjoying some of the continent's most impressive big five country. Fishing this section of the Lower Zambezi is an opportunity not to be missed as it is renowned for being one of the world's most rewarding destinations for tiger fishing.

Your private accommodation will offer you a view of the largest, most famous river in Southern Africa. Tafika Zambezi camps are fully catered facilities inclusive of accommodation, all meals, refreshments, boat hire, tackle and bait. You will share the pool, bar, and dining area with other guests and, while relaxing and reliving the day's adventures you will look out on to the magnificent Zambezi. Tafika Zambezi Fishing Safaris currently have two luxury fishing camps on the Lower Zambezi, Tafika and Shamashanga offering some of the most impressive sport fishing and game viewing in the Zambezi Valley. Each camp has a team of professional river guides who are there to assist you with finding the best fishing or game viewing spots, preparation of fishing equipment and also with refreshments and light meals.

Tafika accommodates up to 14 guests in seven luxury brick-under-thatch chalets. Each chalet boasts comfortable twin beds, overhead fans and a stylish en-suite bathroom with shower, providing all the necessary comforts for your stay. Each chalet is carefully positioned so that from your veranda you will have a breathtaking view of the Zambezi and can enjoy the sun setting over the Zambian hills.

A short walk from each chalet along well-let brick pathways is the main lodge incorporating the dining room, bar and lounge area. There is a large patio with an open fire pit providing the perfect place for evening sundowners before a sumptuous evening meal. Nearby there is also a small plunge pool providing welcome relief during the heat of the day.

The lodge itself and the chalets are thatched from local grasses and shaded by stately tamarind trees. Tafika Zambezi is truly an island of luxury in the wilderness of the Lower Zambezi, little changed since David Livingstone passed by.
