Bazaruto Lodge Hotel
The island of Bazaruto is a beautiful, undeveloped destination, characterized by its stunning white beaches that stretch for miles along its eastern shore, unique wildlife, turquoise waters all carefully cared for as our own private Nature Reserve. The island is three miles long by one wide. It has freshwater lakes that host crocodile, hippo and is the nest place for threatened turtles leatherback turtles.

The Pestana Bazaruto Lodge is situated in an east-facing bay on the north side of the island. Its setting is nothing short of bloody marvelous. It's an ideal spot for nature lovers (& lovers). It hosts diving, paddling, kayaking, snorkeling and other water sports. Fishing is great all year round. As the seasons change you'll catch tuna, sailfish, marlin, barracuda, kingfish and many lesser varieties. We insist upon catch and release, allowing you to only take what you can eat. Our chef was trained in a five star hotel and will prepare your catch serving it Cajun island style with lobster, tiger prawns and fresh, fresh salads grown in our garden paradise. Owing to the effects of the warm Mozambique current, temperatures vary little between summer and winter with a minimum of 21°c in winter and a maximum of 28°c in summer. It's your all year island breakaway from the stress & strain of the city to the art of relaxation.

Chete Gorge and Ruzi Camp
Chete Gorge and Ruzi Camp are located close to Sijarira Lodge. They're seasonal fishing camps located on the shores of the Chete Safari Area, measuring 250,000 ha. It's most used when the fish run between seasons and when waters warm from winters 19°c to between 24°c to 28°c from October to May. They offer fully equipped self-catering lodges for fishermen, breakaway conference groups and their families. It's exclusive retreats sleep only twelve persons per camp. Staff are on hand to pour drinks, clean up and cook basic foods on a barbeque. Chete offers stunning sunsets over Kariba, boating, cruising, game viewing and the most private African big game experience one could hope for. Keep in mind that Chete is inaccessible. It takes a 1h30 minute flight from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls and a six hour drive to get there. It's not a place to go for a weekend, but for a well deserved break, far from the madding crowds. One can arrange fly in Safaris at added cost. Rates vary between ZAR … & ZAR ….

Ripple Creek Zimabwe
It's bass fishing at its best. Some say Zimbabwe will produce the next world record. That may be fishermen's exaggeration, but it is certain that Zimbabwe regularly produces whoppers exceeding eight to ten pounds. Imagine as dawn breaks … and mist rises off the water. Your line draws tight, so you strike, and in an instant feel helpless while your line is whipped from your reel at a rate that will end your reel in seconds… if you don't act fast. HHK can make that dream reality. HHK offers their lodges in the heart of their Bubye River Conservancy. It's the largest private conservancy in Africa measuring over 1,000,000 acres, and perhaps the World. It's located in the south western Lowveld of Zimbabwe, about an eight hour drive from Johannesburg & four hours flying including customs clearance. These under fished waters regularly produce bass in excess of eight pounds.
If you are serious about fishing it's about time you went to Ripple Creek. By the way, I hear Abu Garcia is offering US 1,000,000 to the next Bass World Record Holder that catches it on their equipment. Visit www.bardellos.com to order your equipment. We'll see you at Ripple Creek for a spot of fishing soon.

Sijarira Lodge
Sijarira is a self-catering lodge with a stretch of private beach, panoramic views of Lake Kariba and endless sunsets. It has an atmosphere of peace, tranquility, relaxation and luxury. Nothing much happens here other than the buzz of cicadas, fishing and lapping of water at your feet. Your personal guide will give you an experience of the wilderness few have done before. Camp staff will care for your every need. Self catering does not mean you have to cook, scrub or clean. It means that because Sijajuira is remote you need take provisions with you.
