Angola Fishing – Explore the Wild Coastline of Rio Longa
Join us for an unforgettable fishing expedition to the remote and rugged coastline of Northern Angola. Based near the mouth of the Rio Longa River, this exclusive tour is perfect for anglers and adventurous spirits looking to experience pristine shore and estuary fishing in one of Africa’s most untouched coastal regions.
Your journey begins in Luanda, followed by a scenic 3-hour transfer to our fishing lodge, where you’ll stay for the duration of your trip. Set on an island where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean, the lodge offers direct access to both beach and estuary fishing grounds, making it ideal for targeting a wide range of species in diverse water conditions.
What’s Included:
• Comfortable accommodation at the fishing lodge
• All meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
• Shore-based fishing and fishing in the estuary
• Estuary boats for fishing and transfers to river mouth
• Boat transfers to the beach on request
• Guided birdwatching and crocodile river cruises (on request)
• Beers, soft drinks, and bottled water
• Roundtrip airport transfers from Luanda
• Gear guidance: full list of recommended equipment provided
Please Note:
• Flights are not included (can be arranged on request)
• Strong liquor and fishing gear not included
• This is a dedicated fishing lodge—remote and simple, with no luxury facilities
Beyond fishing, this area is rich in biodiversity. Birdwatching is excellent, and in turtle season, guests may witness hatchings. Boat tours are available to spot wildlife or explore the river system. The beach is nearby and easily accessible by boat upon request.
Fishing Seasons:
• Summer (Late October – June): Prime river flow and peak season for Tarpon, Jacks, Snapper, Threadfin, Permits, and more.
• Winter (June – October): Fewer but larger fish, including giant Threadfin (up to 50kg), Cubbera Snapper, Kob (up to 70kg), and Barracuda.
Fishing the estuary is especially productive during both seasons and provides a unique opportunity to target multiple species in calm, scenic waters. Tides play a key role—spring tides with early morning or evening highs are typically best.
This is not a luxury getaway—it’s a raw, off-the-grid experience for those who live to fish.
