 Zambia Upper Zambezi Fishing

No trip to the Chobe or Zambezi rivers would be complete without trying your hand at fishing from a small boat. These particular waters are home to the notorious Tigerfish that have teeth that could take your fingers off in a flash (but you won’t allow that to happen, will you!)

Expect an almighty contest when you hook one of these mad fighters, as they leap and pull and jump again…a true delight for every serious or amateur angler. Tigers can be taken on fly or on the traditional spinner or spoon. Our fishing guides have grown up in this area and know exactly where to take you for the best options for landing one of these extraordinary fish. We practice ‘capture and release’ for Tiger, but adopt the ‘hook and cook’ concept when going after the delicious fresh water bream (tilapia) that flourish in these tepid waters.

Don’t forget camera batteries and enough memory to record unforgettable moments, as well as a large hat and sunscreen. We provide the rest…and you’ll have the happiest day out there on the Flood Plains or gliding down the mighty Zambezi. Tight lines!

How it all started

Our Story Savannah Adventures

​​

Savannah Adventures began with a simple handshake during the COVID pandemic, when Matt Dohling and Taf Mashiri realised they shared the same vision: safaris should remain personal, honest, sustainable, and respectful of the traditions of the African bush.

Matt brought years of tourism experience and strong online know-how. Taf, a local entrepreneur deeply connected to Victoria Falls, learned guiding the classic way. Their strengths aligned naturally.

They never set out to create “just another operator,” but to revive traditional guiding: small groups, no large buses, open 4x4 jeeps, real conversations, personal contact, and customised safaris. Early mornings scented with dew and dust, and sunsets over the Zambezi remind guests what Africa has always offered — space, silence, authenticity.

Savannah Adventures grew step by step: one vehicle at a time and one trusted guide at a time. Nothing rushed. Nothing outsourced. Just steady, honest work built on trust, sustainability, and respect for the wilderness.

Today, Savannah Adventures stands for handcrafted safaris that honour the land and the wildlife. Matt and Taf continue to lead side by side, carrying forward the true spirit of the African bush every day.
