TIGERFISHING on the Mai Ndombe River

Introduction

Tiger fishing in the D.R.Congo. Go Congo Tour Operator operates an 7, 10 or 14 day trip for those of you who dream to catch a giant tiger fish (Hydrocynus Goliath). Visit the Democratic Republic of Congo and hunt for the giant Goliath in a truly magical setting. You will be captivated by the beauty of nature untamed.

Go Congo offers you the famous Black River (= Mai Ndombe), as well as a section of the Congo River as a hunting ground for your fishing adventures. Although the Tiger fish of the Black River are more modest in size as those of the Congo River, fishing on the Black River is good all year round. It has earned its reputation thanks to the book by Douglas Dann

Fishes of these length and weight, up to 1,5 m and 60 kgs, demand adapted material. Participants are expected to bring their own material. Max 2 – 3 participants per dug – out canoe. Each canoe is operated by a driver/guide.

Accommodations consist of a hotel in Kinshasa and a tented encampment in the interior. As beds, we offer self-inflating mattresses with cotton mattress covers. Travellers are expected to bring their own bed linen. Travellers are expected to bring their own towels and shampoo/soap.

The trip is based on Bed&Breakfast in Kinshasa and Full Board in the interior. The Full Board Meal plan consists of a Breakfast, a light Lunch and a two-course Dinner.
