Kasai

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.

Lake Mukamba is known for two things: its interesting story that tells how the body of water came to be and its abundance in different species of fish that attracts enthusiasts from across the continent. On this 7-day tour, discover and experience both aspects as you enjoy days of fishing with a professional guide, mingle with the villagers and exchange interesting stories, and feel like a local at least for a couple of days in this serene and enchanting place.
