Ilebo

The longest river in the southern Congo River basin system, the Kasai River is home to ferocious Tigerfish or Mbenga, massive species of catfish, and other elusive freshwater game fish. On this week-long trip from Kinshasa, you’ll not only have a chance to reel in one of the meanest fish on the planet, but also discover the authentic, raw side of the DRC – its wild gushing rivers, lush vegetation, and red sandy roads crossing the country. Feel like a local as you fish how they fish on the daily, sometimes with hardships and annoyances, but nonetheless rewarding at the end of each day out on the water.
