Fishing at Kalimba

Kalimba reptile park, just outside Lusaka is also a fish farm. I has four lakes, which are artificially stocked each week, available to the public for fishing.

Our son, Adam doesn't eat meat at present, but enjoys fish, especially if it's been freshly caught. So he and Andy set themselves up with 'African rods' - just bamboo sticks with a line and hook, a pot of worms and plenty of patience!

Adam was delighted when he caught his first bream:


...and after a couple of hours they had a decent catch of eight fat bream:


...plus one ugly catfish - which was thrown back:


Near to the lakes, there are thatched shelters where you can enjoy picnics:




...and of course have a braai:


It was a excellent day out and Adam returned home feeling very happy - and full!
