Hi
I will be in Vic Falls in October 2014 with the family and would like to take them fishing.
Has anyone a recomendation for fishing guides or camps in the Vic Falls area?
Many thanks
Stu

Hi Stu

Although Russell Caldecott no longer operates boats/guides of his own, he can arrange a booking for you. Smaller boats are the norm on the river when heading up stream, so depending on your family size, this could get expensive. If not "serious" fishing, you might consider one of the pontoon-style boats which are very comfortable for a family outing, and still provide a usable fishing platform.

Things always seem to change quite rapidly in the Falls - typical tourist town - but if you like, nearer the time drop me a PM and I will get some firm details for you.

Hi Ant

Many thanks.

Have you any feed back on Pioneers Camp in the Vic Falls NP?

Cheers
Stu

Hi Stu

I have not been to Pioneers, but have heard of it. I checked with a friend who lives (and used to guide on the river) in the Falls, and he says it is a very nice place run by Mike and Franci who are known to him. Good folk he says. Pioneers web site is here:-http://live.trackalytic.com/servlet/link/64528/296761/68439297/1669461

He also suggests having a look at the Victoria Falls River Lodge... also located in the Park. It is a little more up-market but he says a good place and closer to the main town should you want to get around and do some site seeing. Depends what you and the family are looking for. Their web site is at http://victoriafallsriverlodge.com.

Feel free to shout me as your search continues.

Ant.
