Fly fishing in Mozambique includes fresh and saltwater destinations. The islands, Mozambique channel and many of the coastal regions provide not only exceptional travel destinations but also saltwater fly fishing opportunities for the travelling fly fisher.

The major drawcard for the travelling fly fisher to Mozambique is the trophy tigerfish in the lower Zambezi. Fly fishing camps are set up each year specifically to target the large tigers that frequent these waters.

The lower Zambezi is a mighty river with a good flow and many channels. The Zambezi River above Lake Cahora Bassa is starting to slow down and has many braids and these vary from 100m to 2km wide, providing a huge range of interesting fishing opportunities. A lot of large tigers will also come into the river from the lake to spawn and feed.

The experience of a Zambezi sunrise or sunset, fly fishing a river with the stature of the Zambezi - with chanels over 1km wide of fast moving water, and to feel Africa in every breath is an experience that any travelling fly fisher will remember for a long time.

There are many lodges on the lower Zambezi that provide good tiger fishing opportunities but for the serious fly fisher a specifically set up fishing camp with a fly fishing focus will provide the best opportunity for the tiger of a lifetime.

The best season in this area is from June to September and rate is approx $3500 p/person on a dual occupancy basis and includes charter flight and road transfer, all meals, accommodation, drinks and guiding.
