Destinations
Discover Kenya's untouched fisheries
Mount Kenya & The
Aberdare Highlands
Rising from the core of Kenya's central highlands, Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range form two of the most ecologically complex and geologically ancient landscapes in East Africa.
Nestled within Mount Kenya’s upper reaches are Africa’s highest-altitude lakes: cold glacial basins that sustain populations of trout. Introduced over a century ago, the species harbour self-sustaining populations of Rainbow, Brown, and Brook Trout, adapted to the thin oxygen levels and low temperatures. To the West, the Aberdare’s forests and moorlands act as critical water catchment zones. The montane waters and fast-flowing trout streams wind through steep valleys and alpine vegetation, offering a rare opportunity for sight fishing in gin-clear water.
Together these ranges embody the highland biome at its most dynamic.
Kenya Coastline & The
Indian Ocean
Stretching for 250 miles along the Indian Ocean, the Kenyan coastline offers white-sand beaches meeting coral reefs and warm tropical waters. The vibrant marine corridor is home to one of the richest concentrations of biodiversity in the Western Indian Ocean and the opportunity to pursue the Fantasy Grand Slam: Sailfish, Broadbill, Swordfish, and Black, Blue and Striped Marlin. This is all within a single stretch of productive sea, in waters that remain wild and largely unexplored ocean fisheries. From teasing Marlin on fly to sight-casting at Giant Trevally on shallow reefs, the range of techniques and environment is as varied as the species themselves. ​
​
Further North, the dhow-lined shores of Lamu, anglers can explore flats, channels, and drop-offs that shift with tide and season, targeting everything from reef-dwelling species to powerful gamefish farther offshore. A medieval Swahili city, Lamu is a place of understated beauty, where narrow stone streets and carved wooden doors, reflect a history of coastal trade and craftsmanship.
The Great Rift Valley Lakes: Victoria & Turkana
The Great Rift Valley, home to two of Africa’s most distinct freshwater systems: Lake Turkana and Lake Victoria has been shaped over millions of years by tectonic forces.
In the arid North, Lake Turkana, the world’s largest desert lake, lies in a stark volcanic basin. Remote and lightly fished, its jade-green waters support resilient populations of Nile perch, offering a solitary angling experience. To the West, Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest freshwater lake, anchors a fertile, densely populated basin. Its wetlands and open waters host some of the continent’s most productive freshwater fisheries, where anglers can target large Nile perch on fly or conventional tackle amid papyrus-lined shores rich in birdlife. Downstream, Murchison Falls crashes through the narrow gorge, a renowned destination for catching legendary tiger fish.
​
The Northern Frontier:
The Mathews Range
Deep within Kenya’s Northern Frontier, rising abruptly from the arid lowlands, the Mathews Range is a sky island of ancient forest peaks. Within its deep valleys, clear, spring-fed streams wind through a canopy, supporting vibrant aquatic life, brimming with endemic Barbel. Reaching fishing spots often means walking through remote montane forest, where elephant, leopard, and bushbuck move quietly among the trees. This is a rare opportunity to fish for native species in one of Kenya’s most pristine and least-explored wildernesses, in waters few have ever cast a line in.
