Post by: Tommo on September 08, 2015, 01:41:57 PM: Thanks Guys, glad you enjoyed it! Actually Prego, you would be surprised, their rates are pretty reasonable as far as exotic locations go. A week's package to fish there is not as expensive as one may imagine.

I also chatted to the owner, Rico Sakko, and some of the management staff at Kwanza Lodge about the common perception that South African fishermen are not really wanted there. I was assured that this is definitely not the case, and that we are most welcome there. It is definitely worth looking at a trip up there and an opportunity to catch world class fish. Those sort of destinations are getting fewer and fewer.
