FISHING SAFARIS - WILD FRONTIERS, UGANDA

Since 1997 when we launched our first boat in Uganda, we have spent months on the Lake Victoria, with fishermen from all over the world (such as John Wilson, one of UK’s top anglers), catching monster Nile perch, plus lots of time spent up on the Nile river at Murchison Falls. We’ve even been along the Nile into Sudan in search of the best spots, and have found them!!!

We are based in Entebbe, and offer professionally run fishing trips in Uganda on Lake Victoria and the Nile river in Murchison Falls National Park.  Nile perch between 20 – 180 pounds in weight, the largest fresh water game fish in Africa, are the main catch on the lake. Trolling with lures is the method of fishing used.  All the necessary fishing tackle for nile perch trolling on the lake is provided but anglers are free to bring their own equipment.  Lake trips can be enjoyed by everyone from those with no previous experience to those who are looking for a new destination with trips from half to full day offered, or longer overnight trips for the more, serious fisherman.

At Murchison Falls National Park fish are caught on live bait or with casting lures including Nile perch and various species of cat fish.  There are also a large variety of smaller species, (used as live bait), obtained by spinning including tiger fish.  Fishing is either from the river bank or from a boat at the base of the falls area.  This fishing is generally done over a few days and can be very exciting but it does require some experience and also a certain level of fitness due to the terrain.

We encourage the catch and release policy for all our fishing trips.
