Tanzania offers fantastic opportunities for both recreational fishing and sport fishing. The country’s vast freshwater lakes, like Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria, are great for catching species such as tilapia, Nile perch, and catfish. Lake Tanganyika, in particular, is known for its deep waters and abundant fish, making it a top spot for freshwater fishing enthusiasts.

For sport fishing, the waters off Mafia Island and Zanzibar are ideal, where you can catch big game fish like tuna, marlin, sailfish, and kingfish. Several charter companies offer guided fishing trips with expert crews, ensuring a thrilling experience for anglers of all levels.

Zanzibar's coastal areas also provide opportunities for reef fishing and night fishing, where you can catch local fish like grouper, snapper, and barracuda.
