| | | | | | |  | Within approximately 120km range of Sodwana Bay, Cape Vidal & Kosi Bay | | |  | Fishing on Lake Jozini - A major angling game-fish, the striking tiger-fish, can be recognised by the bluish sheen on its back, a series of parallel longitudinal black stripes, intensive yellow to blood red fins with trailing black edges and a series of 8 large, protruding, sharply pointed teeth.
Aptly described as voracious and fierce, the tiger-fish are found in warm, well oxygenated water, mainly in larger rivers and lakes, tending to frequent the surface layers where it often falls prey to the swooping African Fish Eagle.
Lake Jozini is the Pongola Game Reserve is the most southern river / lake where tiger-fish are endemic. Although widespread and still common in certain areas like the Pongola river, tiger-fish are declining in most rivers due to pollution, water extraction and obstructions like weirs and dams that prevent their passage up-or downstream to suitable spawning sites along flooded river banks and lake shores.
From the novice fisherman to the expert anglers fishing with a fly, Lake Jozini offers you the ideal location for tiger-fish of a lifetime, while you enjoy the pristine wilderness setting that compares favourably to the wilds of Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe.

A holistic approach to the understanding
of these incredible pachyderms…
Stand in the tracks of Ngani and visualize the power of our lead bull… feel the silent approach of the grey ghosts of Africa… hear the rhythm of your heart as you search for a newborn…touch a primal cord as you learn about our herd structure and family bonding… smell the birth of an African day as we set out on our search… explore a new way of experiencing elephants.
Elephanting is a half-day programme that focuses on the relocated herds of the Pongola Game Reserve. Your time will be spent not only searching for, but more importantly, learning about our specific elephants, in terms of:
- Why the need to relocated; how this is done, what the aims for this are,
- History, what has happened since their arrival, present herd structure and bull activities
- Learning about the individual personalities, social standing and the unusual aspect of an orphaned group and a group of males breaking in and how this affects the sociality of our lead cows Buga and Antares.
- Future management plans, essential for these confined herds.
- How Space For Elephant was born and its goals, and
- How you the general public can help us in providing elephant with SPACE
Tracking on foot is at the guides’ discretion, dictated by moods of the elephants, i.e. newborns, calves, bulls in musth. A BBC video on the relocation of our elephants from The Kruger National Park is available for viewing. Please arrange viewing times with management.
No bright clothing or children under 16 years.
