General Information:

Based in Zambia on a "Robinson Crusoe" island on the upper Zambezi, Sekoma Lodge is a mere 80 km upriver from Victoria Falls, in the heart of world class tigerfish and bream country. Lying in the eastern corner of the Caprivi strip, it is easily accessed by flying to Livingstone in Zambia or to Kasane (Botswana). Alternatively one can drive to Kasane and leave their vehicles in a security-protected area while they enjoy a superb breakaway holiday. Sekoma provides an ideal and affordable base for the keen angler intent on pursuing the world-renowned tiger fish as well as the large bream that abound these waters. There are many miles of productive water, including accessing the exciting floodplains fishing in season, as well as the possibility of experiencing a Zambezi catfish run. All-method angling can be practiced all year round, but fly fishing and lure angling takes place from June - March. The biggest tiger fish taken in 2005 on fly was 16 lbs with an enviable number of double-figure fish also recorded.

Accommodation:

Sekoma has eight luxury, twin bedded tents with en-suite bathrooms, which are fully tiled with spacious showers. Each tent is raised on wooden decks, each with their own breathtaking view of the Zambezi and the Mambova rapids (near Impalila Island). Each room can be easily converted in to one queen-size double or two singles. Each bed is set up with two comfortable pillows, a duvet, a warm blanket for winter and a throw-over sheet for the heat of summer. The bathrooms are en-suite and fully tiled. Each bathroom is supplied with soap, shampoo and towels and there is a free laundry service, just to help you cut down the over packing of clothes. Insect repellent and mosquito coils are also provided in each tent.

Dining:

There is a fully thatched communal area, dining area, lounge and wooden deck extending out on to the Zambezi River. In the communal area we have a fully stocked bar, wicker sofas to relax on. From the deck, many different species of fish feed beneath the lights at night.  The lodge also has a main boma (Place of Fire), where on occasion, guests dine under the stars alongside the river. A second fireplace it situated close to the communal area so that guests can sit around the fire in winter, warming their hands, while waiting to start the day's fishing

Activities:

Fishing is the main activity at Sekoma Island Loge, and for those who wish to combine fishing with magnificent game viewing, one need go no further than the luxury Chobe Savanna Lodge, which is on the Namibian side of the Chobe River and directly opposite the Chobe National Park. Elephant and buffalo are frequently seen from the upstairs lounge of the Lodge itself.)
