TIGER HUNTERS TOURS & SAFARIS
Fishing Accommodation
in Pongola Game Reserve,
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Tiger Hunters Tours & Safari's is a small local South African company that
was founded by Philip van Wyk a true tigerfishing extremist who has been fishing
the waters of lake Jozini for more than 20yrs in which he gained all the
knowledge, skills and tricks needed in bait, lure and fly fishing, when
considering one of these freshwater monsters as a target. Lake Jozini sprawls
itself across Maputuland in Kwazulu Natal nestled between the Obombo and Lebombo
mountain ranges. Built as a dam in 1972 to be used as a holding reservoir for
the water desperately needed to irrigate the surrounding areas, the dam has
become a popular destination for angling enthusiasts in search of the ultimate
freshwater fishing experience, THE TIGERFISH!!!
The Tiger Fish is regarded as the hardest fighting fresh water fish in Africa
which is what makes it such a popular trophy. No prizes for guessing some of the
reasons the Tigerfish got its name. With a gaping jaw made up of an extremely
well developed mouth with protruding teeth, this definitely isn't the kind of
fish you'd like to meet in a dark corner of the river. The Tigerfish is as
ferocious as it looks - fiercely territorial and known for being a voracious
predator. The body of this fish is built for speed and power; and with its scaly
armour, pointed fins, and conspicuous need for a brace even when its mouth is
shut. This freshwater beast is highly prized as a game fish. Found in freshwater
across Africa, the Tigerfish will chomp on practically any fish that strays into
its path using strong jaw muscles and dagger-like teeth that mesh together like
the Piranha's. It's even reputed to take on prey as big or much bigger than
itself; added reason to stay out of the water
Tiger Hunters- Tours & Safari's offers a wide array of packages including
accommodated, self catering and fly in packages. Please do not hesitate to
contact us for any further advice should you be travelling to Jozini for a Tiger
Fishing Breakaway.
