Big Nile Perch at Lake Nasser, Egypt
Big Nile Perch at Lake Nasser, Egypt
This tour is a safari in the truest meaning of the term. You are living it by camping on your boat literally miles away from any civilization. The stars become your ceiling with a step behind the rocks to your bathroom. Within 2 hours you are out of mobile phone signal, no television, or radio and no electricity. Just you your fellow anglers and guides completely at one with mother nature for the rest of your tour. What awaits you is pure nature and heaven, you can fish as hard or as little as you like. Although Lake Nasser is famous for the Nile Perch there other species that if fished with balanced tackle, can and do provide great sport, Tiger fish, Vundu catfish and on light fly tackle the bread and butter fish of the lake Tilapia. Most of our customers come on this trip to try and catch the largest fresh water fish of their life. Although this can never be guaranteed, practically everyone achieves this goal and has an Angling Adventure of a Lifetime.
