Two Frontier Fisheries.
We operate exclusively in Tanzania — a country whose remote rivers and reservoirs still hold the kind of fishing you thought no longer existed.
The Malagarasi River is one of Africa's last truly wild river systems, flowing through Tanzania's vast Moyowosi wetlands and offering an extraordinary wilderness, world-class tigerfish fishing, and a conservation story that extends far beyond the water.
Set in the wilds of southern Tanzania, Nyerere Dam is one of Africa's newest freshwater fishing frontiers, offering world-class angling, untouched waters, and an unforgettable wilderness experience surrounded by spectacular wildlife.

7 Nights / 6 Full Days Fishing
As the rainy season draws to a close, the river swells, breaching its banks and the surrounding grasslands, marking the onset of the high-water fishing season. This surge of water through the grassy plains serves as a natural filter, so that by the time it rejoins the main channel, its waters are crystal clear.
