Fishing trips-Lake Victoria Africa.

For those who are interested and have some spare time, a day of fishing on Lake Victoria, one of Africa’s Great Lakes, is a great way to reel in the Nile Perch, the biggest freshwater fish in the world. Our competent and experienced skippers are fluent in English, and we know all the finest sites and tactics for “catch and release” fishing the Nile Perch. We provide half-day and full-day trips.

Approach to Fishing

If you want to catch Nile perch, you’ll need to reserve a speed boat since trolling lures near the islands is the major technique. A skilled fishing guide will be there to help with this.

AREA OF CONFERENCE

Day tours with Monumental Expeditions and Safaris start and end in Entebbe, outside the UWEC (Zoo), on Lugard Avenue. There is plenty of parking and a quick walk to the pier from there. Hotels in Entebbe and Kampala may provide transportation to and from the jetty for groups planning overnight trips or individuals making the request.

TIMINGS FOR HALF-DAY TRIPS

Typically, trips leave at 9:00 am or 1:00 pm and return at either 12:00 pm or 5:00 pm, making it a full day excursion lasting around 4 hours. About a half-hour boat ride from Entebbe are the islands where fishing is popular. The fishing spots will be chosen based on the current conditions and the bite patterns of the fish. During some seasons, the lake might experience strong waves, therefore we make use of the protected bays to cast our lines. An assortment of beverages, including tea, coffee, mineral water, soda, and beer, is included with the picnic meal. Anyone fishing is welcome to bring their own refreshments.

Trips that last a whole day

Eight hours on the water is a full day. About a half-hour boat ride from Entebbe are the islands where fishing is popular. The fishing spots will be chosen based on the current conditions and the bite patterns of the fish. During some seasons, the lake might experience strong waves, therefore we make use of the protected bays to cast our lines. An assortment of beverages, including tea, coffee, mineral water, soda, and beer, is included with the picnic meal. Anyone fishing is welcome to bring their own refreshments.

What Should I Bring to the Meet?

Daytime highs on the lake may reach well into the 20s Celsius, so make sure to pack plenty of sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and moisturizers. You should wear sandals or spikes since your feet are likely to become wet, particularly while boarding and disembarking the boat.

It is wise to use insect repellent. Bring a camera if you want to record “the big fish” and binoculars if you’re interested in birds. While shorts and tees are usually OK for the day, it’s wise to bring a raincoat just in case, and a sweater or light jacket for the nights and colder temperatures.

IS THERE A CHANCE THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO CATCH FISH?

In my experience, a half-day excursion on the lake typically involves changing spots more frequently, reducing your time on the water to around half an hour. With a full-day excursion, you have more time on the lake, increasing your chances of landing Nile perch to about 70%. The quality of the guide also makes a significant difference during an excursion.For leisurely excursions on Africa’s beautiful Lake Victoria, Monumental Expeditions and Safaris can organize fishing outings.
