Galamuka

Welcome to Galamuka

Galamuka borders the Lower Zambezi National Park and is situated just outside Mpata gorge, an area famous for its rich history and explored by travellers from all over the world since the 1600s.

This unique area is well-known for its abundance of wildlife, endless bird species and Tiger fish, one of the fieriest freshwater predators in the world!

At Galamuka, we focus on Tiger fishing and offer guided excursions into the Lower Zambezi National Park and as far down as Feira, where the Luangwa river meets the Mighty Zambezi.

Fishing

The main quarry of anglers is the Zambezi Tiger Fish. Vundu, Cornish Jack and various Tilapia are also found in this unique river system. Galamuka provides expert guides and comfortable fishing boats that accommodate all levels of angling experience.

All boating and fishing activities at Galamuka are included in the rate. Activities include fishing, river cruises, birdwatching, game drives by boat and our specialty, Tiger fishing!

Galamuka borders the Lower Zambezi National Park presenting you with the opportunity to fish with a mixture of “glamping” in the park.
