Trip Overview
The 5-Day Tanzania Fishing Safari is an adventurous Discovery Journey to the South and less explored part of Tanzania. The Safaris' main focus is fishing on Kilombero, Mnyera & Ruhudji rivers. There are over fish species in these Rivers including the Tanzanian Blue Tiger Fish. The Tanzanian Blue Tiger Fish is the hardest-fighting freshwater fish species and the most sought-after of all.
On this 5-Day Tanzania Fishing Safari, you will not only focus on fish but also explore the famous Selous ecosystem. The protected area was once called Selous Game Reserve but was later renamed Nyerere National Park. It is the biggest in Tanzania and East Africa in general with a land area of 30,893 square kilometers. Nyerere National Park is one of the less disturbed ecosystems in Tanzania and is home to various wildlife species. All Discovery Journeys down south are very exclusive and are highly recommended for people interested in experiential safaris.
You will enjoy game drives here seeing animals like giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, hyenas, wolves, buffaloes, and lions among others. Southern Tanzania is exclusive and the lodges are not crowded even in the peak tourist season.
The 5-Day Tanzania Fishing Safari is the ultimate experiential Discovery Journeys Adventure as you will get to explore and Discover More. The best time for this safari is in the dry season from June to October. During the rainy season, the rivers flood and some of the camp are not accessible. This 5 Days Safari is a flying safari from Dar es Salaam to avoid the long drives of over 7 hours. The drives are enjoyable though as you get to see a lot and incase you prefer that option it can be arranged. Contact us for more details about the cost and availability.
