South Africa’s waters teem with all kinds of fish species, which makes the the perfect place to catch the big one. The metaphorical saying holds true around here, there truly is plenty fish in the sea.
Every weekend and holiday, thousands of South Africans make their way to the fish waters to try hook a nice catch and to take a load off… Old and young love going to the oceanside or to one of our country’s many rivers or dams – if not to catch fish, just to enjoy the stillness and fresh air.
It’s no surprise that companies have made amazing experiences available to fishermen and ocean enthusiasts. Most of them provide all-inclusive packages, which are ideal for first timers or tourists. Whatever your threshold for adventure, know that there’s a South African fishing adventure for you.

Monster Carp Safari for One | Gauteng
The number one adventure on any avid fisherman’s bucket list, is to hook The Big One. Now you have the opportunity to do just that with this once-in-lifetime Monster Carp Safari for One in Gauteng.
