Big 5 fishing is an organisation that will introduce you to outstanding fly fishing and conventional fishing experiences in some of the most prestigious fishing lodges in Africa. We offer a diverse range of fishing from the wild rivers and deep, mist shrouded dams of the Eastern highlands of Southern Africa, the pristine beaches and reefs that have made Mozambique one of the foremost fishing destinations in the Southern Hemisphere to the absolutely untamed, exhilarating wilderness that is the Zambezi River.
Nowhere else in the world can you experience the luxurious standards of accommodation our tours provide, blended with African wildlife and pristine, unspoilt island an unforgettable fishing and holiday experience! Big 5 fly fishing is an organisation born out of the founder member Doug McCallum’s passion to incorporate the excellent fly fishing opportunities with the abundant game reserves and lodges that Southern Africa has to offer.
All our lodges are of the highest standard and our guides are highly experienced in their field whether it be fly fishing or game viewing. Apart from the several packages Big 5 fly fishing has on offer, we are also able to taylor make specific tours to client’s individual needs. For those who would like to concentrate more on saltwater or Tiger fishing, we will put together the appropriate package.

Fly fishing for Woman
“One of the great reasons the sport is growing for women is due to the efforts of Casting For Recovery. Casting for Recovery® (CFR), founded in 1996, is a national non-profit support and educational program for breast cancer survivors. Through 2½-day retreats, the sport of fly-fishing is used to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. The effective balance between the physical benefits of the gentle exercise provided by fly-fishing and the counseling curriculum benefits women at any age and any stage of treatment or recovery.
The program allows women to get away from their cancer, while providing support from the medical/psychosocial professionals present at every retreat. Such a great program and a great reason to get women fly fishing.
Fly fishing used to be a, “good ol’ boys” club and the members were older white collar males who made a lot of money and wanted to be associated with an exclusive sport. Statistics now show that one in four of the folks you see standing in a river waving a stick are women fly fishing – probably single and well-to-do.”
