Once a year around the month of October, the northern canals of Botswana’s Okovango Delta begin to bubble and boil with activity. This unique natural phenomenon is known as the Barbel Run, and is an occurrence that is unique to this part of the world. The feeding frenzy starts as the water level of the mighty Okavango River starts to drop, which brings small fish from adjacent flood plains into the river system.

This in turn draws millions of barbell that go after the smaller fish, which subsequently attracts birds, crocodiles and Africa’s most vicious fresh water predatory fish – the Tiger fish. Come and join us for 5 days of ‘catch and release’ Tiger fishing in these beautiful surroundings.
