Shore, shark and tiger fishing in Namibia
Namibia's Atlantic coastline offers some of the most powerful and rewarding shore and shark fishing in the world. From the cold, nutrient-rich Benguela Current to the vast, untouched beaches stretching along the Skeleton Coast and central shoreline, this is a destination for anglers who value challenge, patience, and raw natural conditions.
Most fishing is done from the shore, reading the water, working the tides, and adapting to ever-changing wind and surf. Conditions can be demanding, but that is what makes success meaningful. Anglers target a variety of hard-fighting species, with shark fishing being a major highlight of the Namibian coast.
Long casts, heavy tackle, and careful bait presentation are essential. Shark fishing here is about more than size alone. It requires planning, stamina, and respect for the animal. Fights can be long and physical, and proper handling is critical.
Respecting the ocean and its inhabitants
Proper handling techniques are always followed to ensure fish welfare during and after the catch.
Where applicable, catch and release practices are employed with focus on fish survival.
All fishing is conducted in full compliance with Namibian fishing regulations.
Weather and ocean conditions play a major role. This is wild coastline fishing in its purest form.
In stark contrast to Namibia's arid landscapes, the Caprivi Strip (Zambezi Region) is a lush, water-rich wilderness shaped by four major rivers - the Zambezi, Chobe, Kwando, and Okavango. This region offers a completely different side of Namibia, defined by floodplains, riverine forests, and abundant birdlife.
Caprivi is renowned for its tiger fishing, targeting one of Africa's most aggressive and exciting freshwater game fish. Known for explosive strikes, aerial fights, and razor-sharp teeth, tiger fish test both skill and nerve.
Fishing is done from boats or along the riverbanks, guided by experienced local anglers who understand the rivers, seasons, and conditions.
Beyond fishing, Caprivi offers exceptional wildlife viewing, peaceful river scenery, and a slower, immersive pace of travel. It is the perfect complement to Namibia's deserts and coastline, adding water, greenery, and adrenaline to a well-rounded adventure safari.
