Mozambique Tiger Fish – Zinave
This last week we did our second trip to Zinave National Park and, once again, had a great time in a beautiful setting and this time we did release a few of those illusive Mozambique tiger fish.
Last year September we did our first mission to Zinave and despite the water level being too low to have a realistic shot at those Mozambique tiger fish we did have a great time trying all possible waterholes and some amazing game walk and drives.

Better water…
This time the water level was much higher and despite it still being too cold for a hot bite we still got a few nice fish, the best a real nice one for Gretha on our first session.
Besides that, we had a grand time with some amazing game drive´s including a very exciting one with elephants charging us, saw an enormous python and enjoyed some great company and meals by the campsite.
Once again thanks to Justin for being the great host he is and showing us all that magical place as to offer…and putting us into some Mozambique Tiger Fish.
Here´s a few pics of the trip…
Thanks to Paul Retzlaf from Mozambique Horse Safaris in Vilankulos for these early morning pics…

Elephant charge
In between targeting Mozambique Tiger Fish, cooking some awesome meals, chilling by the camp fire and bush walking we had some great game drive´s. But, none as exciting as the one we got chased by a herd of elephants – just ask Jonathan Retzlaff from Vilankulos Canoe safaris
Thanks for the pic and good laugh Jay

Finally, he did so and brought in his first Mozambique Tiger Fish for a release.
The smile says it all….
Now it’s back to Vilankulos to get some salt spray in our face and chase fish with less teeth and bigger noses 🙂
