Quite a new arrival on the scene, the Tanzanian tiger fish are a different species than the tigers through much of Africa and grow bigger. Although they are not as big as the Goliath Tiger fish of the Congo, Tanzania is a much, much safer destination. If tiger fish are on your bucket list, the Mnyera and Rudhudji are the waterways to head for. These rivers have completely moved the goalposts when it comes to tiger fish. Whereas five years ago the accepted ‘trophy’ target for a tigerfish was 10lb, the AVERAGE fish on these rivers is just under 8lb and anglers have a realistic chance of a 20-pounder. There’s over 120km of fishing to go at on rivers that have received minimal fishing pressure. All along on these rivers you are going to experience African wildlife that will live with you forever.
