Situated in the Mozambican province of Tete, Lake Cahora Bassa lies on the famed Zambezi River. Africa’s fourth-largest artificial lake is surrounded by high mountains that shelter it from the wind and create a breathtaking backdrop. This remote lake is an angler’s eden, teeming with a multitude of fish species, it is considered Mozambique’s best destination for tiger fishing. Measuring 240 kilometres in length and 31 kilometres in width at its widest point, the lake stores over double that of South African water stores. It is home to a large population of hippopotamus and an array of diverse bird life. The shores are lined with dense vegetation, lush flora, and even dotted with the otherworldly baobab trees. Visitors can look forward to a scenic boat cruise between the magnificent gorges of the lake.
