The Red Sea & Egypt - Diving Holidays in Paradise

Fishing Safari - Lake Nasser

A fishing safari on Lake Nasser is as close to the real meaning of the word "safari" as you are likely to find – a style of mobile camping that combines comfort with the incredible experience of being out in real wilderness.

Most anglers visiting this unique desert lake for the first time catch the largest freshwater fish of their lives. (These are tagged and released). Practically everyone achieves this goal and has an angling adventure they will never forget.

As well as terrific angling, Lake Nasser is a fantastic place to visit, where stunning desert scenery borders clean waters, which are in turn dotted with countless rocky outcrops and islands. There is an atmosphere of tranquility, vastness and adventure – as befits a wilderness where anglers have hundreds of square kilometers to themselves.
For anglers with a sense of adventure and a love of nature and the outdoors, you will find that our boat safaris fit the bill in every possible way.

This safari is designed for anglers who would like to come on their own or with a friend and then join in the atmosphere of a sociable camp with other anglers. The safari unit is made up of two or three fishing boats, supported by a supply boat (mother ship) that acts as a mobile camp and rest area. The supply boats are well equipped, with built-in kitchen, toilet, and shower, also large iceboxes to keep the food and drinks cold.

The fishing boats double up as comfortable accommodation: there are two bunks each with a full-size mattress. At night the cabin can be enclosed by a canvas wind-shield, providing a cozy sheltered sleeping area which has a 12v lighting system.
