.: General Information :.

Nestled on the shores of the lower Zambezi, in the wild and spectacular Zambezi Valley, is a remote fishing camp that offers fishermen and bush lovers an unforgettable African adventure. Our fishing safaris offer a unique experience incorporating a blend of wonderful scenery, prolific animal and bird life and of course, excellent fishing opportunities.

A forgotten tribe, the secretive Wadoma, honey gatherers with ostrich-like feet for climbing trees, are said to live in the Maputo Gorge area.

The camp is situated on the Zimbabwean Bank of the Zambezi in the remote wilderness area of the Kanyemba/Angwa region. It is a short distance upstream where the three countries, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique meet at the confluence of the Luangwa River and the mighty Zambezi.

The camp is rustic with a distinct African ambiance, attractively set near the waters edge. Accommodation is in two comfortable thatch cottages each with its own shower, hand basin and toilet, built under an enormous Wild Fig Tree.

In keeping with the African experience all food preparation and dining are done outside around the open fire where guests are welcome to participate, or they can just enjoy the relaxing surroundings in the plunge pool sipping a ice cold drink.

The stretch of river from the camp upstream, through the Mpata Gorge, is where the ferocious Tigerfish reigns supreme! Besides its large Tigerfish, the camp record is 8.4kg, the area offers the keen angler a chance to catch Nkupi and Chessa (excellent fighters in their own right), Vunda (a giant Catfish), Cornish Jack, Bottlenose, various types of Bream and Eel are amongst other species.

For the “non-fisherman” this is Big Five country, with Elephant and Buffalo well represented. Lion and the elusive Leopard to a lesser extent and an increasing population of Rhinoceros after they were practically all, but a small number, poached out. Crocodiles, Hippopotumi, Waterbuck, Kudu, Impala and the smaller game are plentiful.

This is also a birders paradise with many different species having been recorded. The bird life is prolific with common sightings of the majestic African Fish Eagle, Bataleur, Tawny Eagles, Kingfishers, Marabou and White Storks, Meyers Parrot and much more. The Lillian's Lovebird and Pels Fishing Owl as well as the rare Taita Falcon are also found in the area.

Zambezi Kanyemba Safaris offers guests the opportunity to escape the routine of day to day life, to relax and to enjoy the wild and exciting Zambezi and unwind. Most of all, to share in an exhilarating and memorable experience.
