Fishing Safari
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.

areas on the Nile which can prove very
exciting at times.
