This activity is done above The Falls and it is the thrill of catching the Tiger fish which is a well known fighting fish, probably the best in any fresh water system.
Boat Cruises
There are few things better than cruising the Mighty Zambezi River. Many options available here but essentially its a sunset booze cruise.
