Ending the week on a high! Another proper tiger successfully landed and released this morning, rounding off a strong few days on the river for our clients 🎣

Water levels are steadily dropping, with more sandbanks starting to appear each day, making those early morning runs up and down river even better.

If you’ve been thinking about a trip to Shackleton’s, now’s a pretty good time to make it happen 🇿🇲

After travelling all the way from Texas to fish the Zambezi, there was absolutely no time wasted getting into the action!

A seriously solid tiger to kick things off their first morning of fishing and hopefully a good sign of what’s still to come over the next few day!

Three days on the water and the action just keeps getting better!

This morning, father-and-son duo from South Africa successfully landed and released an incredible 20lb tiger fish on just their second full day of fishing with us and guided by Orbet!

After already boating impressive 17lb and 19lb tigers yesterday, the Zambezi clearly isn’t done showing off yet!
