Nile Perch Fishing in Lake
Victoria Uganda is incredible!! The Ssese
Islands, a small cluster of over 80 islands
off Entebbe, Uganda, are an untouched
paradise. Most are uninhabited except
by itinerant local fishermen, and are
covered in thick, tropical forest home
to monkeys and birds. Fish of over 80
kg have been caught. The main method of
fishing in the lake is trolling with lures,
although fly fishing has been tried as
has live bait. Apart from the Nile perch,
local tilapia of up to 5kg have been caught
on bait. In the Nile river, below Murchison
Falls, the fishing is normally with live
bait, and apart from perch, catfish of
over 50kg are often caught.

Airport, you will be met by your safari
guide who will transfer you to your hotel
in Kampala.

Day 2
After breakfast, you will drive from Kampala
through Uganda's rolling green hills to
Murchison falls National Park. In the
late afternoon we will descend to the
base of Murchison falls themselves and
fish the evening for three hours. A relative
level of fitness will be required as the
decent is relatively steep. In the dramatic
pools below the legendary waterfall we
will be targeting the large Nile Perch
which can have been caught in these waters
over 100 Kilos. We will then return to
the lodge for dinner and overnight.

This morning you will fish the river Nile
by boat below the world renowned Murchison
falls for the Nile perch and other species
several of which can be taken on a fly
including the Awaka a small tiger and
the Ungara. You will spend the whole day
fishing from the boat and the shore. The
boat trip is also excellent for game viewing
as you will be fishing in one of the best
game areas on the Nile which can prove
very exciting at times.
