Fishing at Vamizi

    'the Vamizi fisherfolk are confident enough to guarantee their clients between five and twenty game fish – sometimes even record breakers - in a single session.'

Vamizi Island is a fish Eden. Over 50 mainstream fish species are present in the Vamizi seas - the majority all year round - including a huge variety of big game fish, such as wahoo, yellowfin tuna, greater trevally,sailfish and marlin.

With a kilometre deep drop-off just off the coast, the Vamizi fishing grounds lie as little as ten to thirty minutes from the lodge, making even half a day’s fishing highly productive.

For those who prefer to stay on land, it is also easy to catch a number of fish species straight off the beach, either on a fly or using live bait.

Our professional fishermen are masters of their trade who know the Vamizi seas intimately. They understand each fish species’ habits and movements and how weather, seasons, water temperatures and tides will affect the day’s outcome.

They also have all the skills: from jigging and popping to live-bait fishing and, for the more discerning, deep-sea fly fishing.

Backed up by an almost obsessive team, who literally sing the fish in from the decks of a 28ft Magnum, as well as top-of-the-line equipment, the Vamizi fisherfolk are confident enough to guarantee their clients between five and twenty game fish – sometimes even record breakers - in a single session.

More than deep satisfaction for the serious fisherman, Vamizi fishing is also great fun for first-timers. The seas are fabulous - you're more than likely to see dolphins or whales on the way - and (no pressure) you're pretty well expected to bring back supper, or at the very least, tuna sashimi, for everyone.
