Tiger Fish
Tiger Fishing at Lake Jozini: Situated in
Northern Zululand adjacent to Swaziland, the
lake covers 16 000 hectares, with a river
stretch of approx 5 km. Fishing takes place
from boats as the shoreline is crowded with
semi-submerged trees and not to mention the
large population of hippos and crocodiles on
the water. The ideal times to pursue them
would be most of our summer months from
September-May. House-boats and game
lodges are available.
