Fishing
My Safari
Call n to talk about Fishing.
By his very nature, the sport fisherman is an adventurer. And where better to experience adventure than in the magical continent of Africa. True, it is in Zambia, and its renowned Lower Zambezi River, that the most exciting fly fishing is to be found, and off the coast of the nearby spice island of Zanzibar that the most dramatic game fishing can be experienced, but Kenya also has plenty to offer the keen fisherman.
Amongst species to be found in Kenya's inland lakes and rivers are the famously vicious Tiger Fish (well, they’re really vicious in the Lower Zambezi anyway), large Vundu (Catfish), and Bream.
Outside the specialist arena of the fly fisherman lies the whole world of serious game fishing, which, so far as Kenya is concerned, of course means ocean fishing off the mainland coast. Here you can experience serious game fishing – Wahoo, Sailfish and Barracuda, to mention just a few – although this is an activity that lies somewhat outside the safari scene that we are focusing on here.
Combining a languorous beach holiday with the excitement of a game viewing safari must be the ultimate African holiday experience.
Originally set up by the late David Craig as a Black Rhino sanctuary, Lewa has become one of Africa's most exciting centres of biodiversity, home to Grevy's Zebra, and Oryx.
Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world, in addition to serving as the source of Africa's most iconic river, The Nile.
The Maasai Mara National Reserve is probably Kenya's best-known safari destination, especially where the package tour market is concerned.
Meru is one of Kenya's most beautiful and unspoiled national parks, perhaps being best known for being where George and Joy Adamson, of 'Born Free' fame, made their home.
