Kora Catfish

New Year’s Day and Arthur Chege’s birthday we set off to the Kora Rapids below George Adamson’s Kampi Ya Simba to see what we could catch there. Arthur tied up a california sliding rig with a bit of lemon soap on a large circle, and within minutes was attached to this impressive Widehead Catfish (Clarotes laticeps) which was quickly photographed and gently released. What a great way to start 2016.

Kora Rapids are one of the great destinations in Reel Africa’s Source to Sea itinerary that takes anglers on an odessy from the moorlands of Mount Kenya down the Tana River and out into the Indian Ocean.

Ever thought about putting those trout fishing skills to the test? Catching Nile Perch on fly is a wonderful challenge and a huge rush to succeed!

Kyle caught this wonderful Elongate Tigerfish (Hydrocynus forskali) near South Island while fishing with Reel Africa off South Island.

Welcome to Our World

Fishing for us is a chance to get out into those wild places and practice the quiet art of rod and line. Kenya straddles the equator and is a piscatorial paradise. Glacial melt streams trickle down through every environment to tropical blue waters. We’ve spent uncountable hours fishing all over the country. We thrive on the safaris we do through untamed wilderness. Since childhood we have fished Kenya’s waters, thrilled with wild surroundings, shared a beat with crocodiles and elephant, basked with whale sharks, been beaten by wild storms and toasted in the tropical heat. Come and join us on one of our exciting fishing expeditions, which we host and guide. We each take between two and four clients. We try where possible to include wildlife and wilderness spectacles en route, savouring the entire environment and not rushing to ruin the spectacle of Africa. We are happy to organize fishing safaris for small groups when we are available, so for bookings and expedition enquiries, send us an e-mail...
