At Trek Africa Expeditions, we prioritize providing value for money, catering to all types of travelers, whether they prefer luxury, mid-range, or budget experiences.

Exciting Fishing Adventure:

Fishing in Uganda emerges as an exhilarating sport, with anglers pursuing a diverse array of fish species during their fishing safaris. Among the sought-after catches are the mighty Nile perch, Sudan catfish, and the formidable Vundu catfish, constituting the league of big fish. Additionally, smaller catches such as Tilapia, yellowfish, and tiger fish can be hooked using spins and sweet corn.

Insights into Budget Uganda Fishing Safaris:

Embarking on a budget-friendly fishing adventure in Uganda involves strategic compromises on accommodation, transportation, and boat fishing fees. Here’s a comprehensive guide to consider before booking a budget Uganda sport fishing safari.

Camping Accommodation:

In the realm of budget fishing, accommodation takes the form of camping. Comfortable tents are provided for budget-conscious clients, and meals can be enjoyed at the main restaurant located within the campsite. Alternatively, cooking options can be arranged upon request.

Dual Angling: On Boat and Shore:

While it presents a challenging endeavor, anglers have the option to drive to the top of the falls and engage in shore fishing. Two significant pools below the falls, namely Devil’s Cauldron and Baker’s Rock, offer excellent spots for lure fishing. Anglers will only incur costs for permits, guides, and park entrance fees.

Cost-Effective Transport:

Budget-friendly transport is facilitated using a 4×4 safari van. While these vans provide comfort, they are a more economical option compared to 4×4 jeeps, as the vehicle is not required throughout the entire expedition.

Client-Provided Lunch:

Picnic lunches are not included in the fishing day package. Clients can either order their meals from the campsite’s restaurant or opt to provide their own lunch, offering flexibility and contributing to cost savings.

Bringing Personal Equipment:

Trek Africa Expeditions arranges the services of the fishing boat, allowing clients to bring their own equipment. This option helps reduce the overall cost of the boat, making the fishing experience more affordable.

BYO Drinks: Except for Water:

Clients are responsible for providing their own drinks during the fishing safaris, with the exception of drinking water, which is thoughtfully provided by Trek Africa Expeditions as part of the tour package.

Destination Highlights:

The budget Uganda fishing safari package caters to anglers in Jinja and Murchison Falls National Park. Unfortunately, Lake Victoria is not within reach due to the distance of the fishing spots and the specific type of boat required, making it challenging to execute an economical fishing trip to this location.
