Mozambique - Zongoene Lodge

Dates available throughout 2008

Sandwiched between Tanzania to the north and South Africa to the south, Mozambique has the longest coastline of all East African countries, and it offers some truly marvellous blue water sports fishing from both beach and boat.

ZONGOENE LODGE
This paradise location nestles beside the mouth of the Limpopo River (also good brackish and freshwater fishing) where it empties into the Indian Ocean, with the lodge a mere 100 yards from the extensive sandy beach. Guests here go beach fishing by Kawasaki quad bikes, with all the necessary tackle and baits provided for catching black tip and bull sharks, king mackerel‚ bluefish, kob, jacks, stingrays, and trevally etc. There is simply mile upon mile of virgin, wilderness shoreline to explore with the help of experienced guides.

The lodge operates two excellent boats -a 25 footer pushed along by twin Yamaha 115s, which fishes four guests, and a 30 footer sporting twin 225 Mariner engines, which accommodates six. Both boats troll for sailfish, wahoo, barracuda, tuna, queen mackerel and king mackerel etc, and bottom fish for big Limpopo groupers, giant trevally, javelin grunters, ragged tooth and grey reef sharks, plus a whole bunch of weird and wonderful, beautifully coloured, hard battling species. Other regular sights here are humpback dolphins and turtles. All tackle is provided.

Winter here is from May through till August, and the peak summer season (best fishing time) is from November through 'till April.
