Fishing

The dam beneath Malilangwe House offers a quiet stretch of water for casting a line, well away from the usual bush noise. A guide and tracker accompany each outing, pointing out how local fishermen once used indigenous plants to lure fish before rods and reels arrived. The dam holds tiger fish, bass, bream and catfish, with catch-and-release fishing possible throughout the year. It suits both newcomers and experienced anglers, and offers a slower, more contemplative counterpoint to game drives and walks elsewhere on the reserve. You settle in, drop a line, and wait to see what the water gives up.
