Sekoma has 8 luxury twin bedded Chalets, as well as 1 Four sleeper family unit all with en-suite bathrooms, which are fully tiled with spacious showers.
Based in Zambia on a "Robinson Crusoe" island on the upper Zambezi, Sekoma Lodge is a mere 80 km upriver from Victoria Falls, in the heart of world class tigerfish and bream country. Lying in the eastern corner of the Caprivi strip, it is easily accessed by flying to Livingstone in Zambia or to Kasane (Botswana). Alternatively one can drive to Kasane and leave their vehicles in a security-protected area while they enjoy a superb breakaway holiday.
Sekoma provides an ideal and affordable base for the keen angler intent
on pursuing the world-renowned tiger fish as well as the large bream
that abound these waters. There are many miles of productive water, including
accessing the exciting floodplains fishing in season, as well as the
possibility of experiencing a Zambezi catfish run. All-method angling can
be practiced all year round, but fly fishing and lure angling takes place
from June - March. The biggest tiger fish taken in 2005 on fly was 16 lbs
with an enviable number of double-figure fish also recorded.
Sekoma has eight luxury, twin bedded tents with en-suite bathrooms,
which are fully tiled with spacious showers. Each tent is raised on
wooden decks, each with their own breathtaking view of the Zambezi
and the Mambova rapids (near Impalila Island)
Each room can be easily converted in to one queen-size double or two
singles. Each bed is set up with two comfortable pillows, a duvet,
a warm blanket for winter and a throw-over sheet for the heat of summer.
The bathrooms are en-suite and fully tiled. Each bathroom is supplied
with soap, shampoo and towels and there is a free laundry service, just to
help you cut down the over packing of clothes. Insect repellent and mosquito
coils are also provided in each tent.
There is a fully thatched communal area, dining area, lounge and wooden
deck extending out on to the Zambezi River. In the communal area we
have a fully stocked bar, wicker sofas to relax on. From the deck,
many different species of fish feed beneath the lights at night.
The lodge also has a main boma (Place of Fire), where on occasion,
guests dine under the stars alongside the river. A second fireplace
it situated close to the communal area so that guests can sit around
the fire in winter, warming their hands, while waiting to start the
day's fishing. Fishing starts at 6.15.
(For those who wish to combine fishing with magnificent game viewing,
one need go no further than the luxury Chobe Savanna Lodge, which is
on the Namibian side of the Chobe River and directly opposite the Chobe
National Park. Elephant and buffalo are frequently seen from the upstairs
lounge of the Lodge itself.)
For those who wish to combine fishing with magnificent game viewing, Sekoma can arrange game drives in the Chobe National Park, as well as Game viewing by boat on the Chobe River. These are extra activities which can be arranged from the lodge. Large herds of Elephant can regularly be seen on both Sekoma and Ilombe Islands.
