This is the shortlist you would text a friend: 3 fishing trips worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the thing to know before you commit.
Meet the local crew at Nungwi Mnarani Aquarium for a private six-hour fishing trip toward Zanzibar’s game-fishing grounds. Use Shimano and Penn reels, then stop near Mnemba for snorkeling and possible dolphin sightings. Machano is one crew member praised by name.
“Crew took us out knowing the sea is rough. There is no way for an average tourist to know how rough and choppy the sea is.”
Set out from Kizimkazi on a private Yamaha speedboat for four to six hours of game and reef fishing. Guides supply rods, reels, lures, water, fruit, soft drinks, and hotel pickup. The catch may include tuna, kingfish, marlin, dorado, and colorful reef fish.
“Très bonne expérience guide sympa et expérimenté je suis très content j ai pris un thon jaune”
Join a local Pongwe fishing team for about three hours on a traditional dhow. You will learn basic sailing and handline fishing, enjoy a quiet bay without engine boats, and finish with fish soup cooked by the captain’s wife. Hotel pickup and soft drinks are included.
“Der Fahrer hat mich pünktlich am Hotel abgeholt. Das Angeln mit der Handleine war eine tolle Erfahrung. Der gesamte Ausflug war sehr interessant und es ist mir gelungen auch ein paar Fische ins Boot zu ziehen.”
Pick a park, a reef or a route up the mountain.
