Boating Fishing - The Bass Experience 

Tanzania Adventure - Inland Sport Fishing in Tanzania

Sport fishing in Tanzania inland is increasingly becoming one of the most popular leisure activities among tourists. Even though fishing in Tanzania national parks and game reserves is prohibited, the country\'s many freshwater lakes and rivers, which occupy more than 6 percent of Tanzania\'s total area, offer plenty of sport fishing opportunities.

During the rainy season, the country\'s rivers and their tributaries are inhabited by plenty of fish and it is therefore a good idea to take a fishing safari after the short and long rains. The short rains fall in November and December, while the long rains are received in April and May. Some of Tanzania\'s best inland fishing fishing grounds are Mwanza, Musoma, Lake Tanganyika and Rufiji River.

There are plenty of tour safari companies organizing fishing safaris for visiting fishing enthusiasts seeking for best fishing experiences in Tanzania. Boatmen at the ports of Mwanza and Musoma located on Lake Victoria are so welcoming and they can also allow you to go with them on their daily fishing trips. Lake Victoria, by far the largest lake in Africa, is home to attractive freshwater tropical fish species that are imported to aquariums the world over.

Mwanza, the southern port of Lake Victoria, is a very popular fishing safari destination in Tanzania. The port is home to huge Nile Perch and Tilapia and it one of the best places to get started. The port city is also the cultural centre of Sukuma, the largest ethnic group in Tanzania.

Musoma, another port city on the Eastern shores of Lake Victoria, is a good fishing spot for catching the Nile Perch - known by the locals as Sangara or Chengu. You will find at Musoma, plenty of boats to take visitors across the lake. With a 3440 km shoreline and over 3000 islands-some inhabited-Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area and also the largest tropical lake.

Lake Tanganyika is another popular fishing safari destination in Tanzania. Stretching across four countries - Burundi, DRC, Zambia, and Tanzania - lake Tanganyika is the world\'s second largest freshwater lake by volume after lake Baikal in Siberia. The lake is home to over 350 fish species , including the Goliath Tiger Fish and the Nile Perch. Lake Tanganyika has over 2000 plant and animal species, of which 600 are not found anywhere else in the world.

Both salty and freshwater fishing opportunities exist on Rufiji River, which is the largest river in Tanzania. Freshwater fishing takes place in the size-able 21 lakes in the Rufiji floodplain area along River Rufiji and in hundreds of ponds and creeks. These lakes and creeks fill up during the annual floods and they yield excellent catches of fish. Salty water fishing is normally done near the Rufiji coast, where good conditions for prawn fishing exist on the sandbanks off the Rufiji Delta.

Another popular fishing activity among Tanzania visitors is fly fishing. The rivers and streams of Tanzania provide good spots for fly fishing.
