Tiger fishing on Lake Jozini, everything you need to know on how to bag your trophy

Posted on February 29, 2012 by fabian

Lake Jozini also known as Pongolapoortdam is a popular Tiger fishing destination. With plenty of accommodation and private reserves along the bank, Tiger fishing on Lake Jozini is an experience that all should enjoy – from the serious angler arriving with state of the art fishing equipment, to the novice experiencing that first bite, and then the fight, until the first Tiger fish is reeled in – if you’re lucky! But remember, it’s not about landing this infamous creature; it’s all about the fight it’s going to put up!

Lake Jozini sprawls across the Maputuland in Kwazulu Natal nestled between the Obombo and Lebombo mountain ranges. Built in 1972 to be used as a holding reservoir for the water desperately needed to irrigate the surrounding areas, the dam has become a popular destination for angling enthusiasts in search of the ultimate freshwater fishing experience. During the summer months when the temperature of the water rises by a few degrees accommodation surrounding the lake is inundated with anglers, eager to be able to say they have experienced Tiger fishing on Lake Jozini.

The Tiger Fish is regarded as the hardest fighting fresh water fish in Africa, which is what makes it such a popular trophy. The Goliath Tiger Fish has been known to attack humans; however, unless you plan on taking a trip into the Congo, there is no need for concern. Tiger Fish inhabiting the waters of Lake Jozini pose no such threat. This is not to say that it’s an easy prey, Tiger fishing is a sport for the experienced angler ready to put up a fight to land his trophy.

The Tiger Fish is between 50 and 70 cm long with striking colouring, a bluish sheen on the body, a silver underside and brightly coloured red fins. The striped markings on its side are what give this fish its name. The mouth houses a row of sharp interlocking teeth making the use of a steel trace when fishing essential. Specialised lures are the most commonly used method for catching the Tiger Fish on Lake Jozini although popular bait includes minnows and robbers. Sardine is also fairly popular.

Lake Jozini is the only place in South Africa where you can catch this fearsome trophy, the fact that it borders Swaziland and its proximity to Mozambique make the climate and water conditions similar to those found on Lake Zambezi where this fish is most prominent. The best time for Tiger fishing on Lake Jozini is during the hot summer months when the water temperature rises by a few degrees.

The weather is warm all year round, due to the fact that it’s located close to the tropic of Capricorn, and the summer months become humid, so if you are going just to appreciate the game and birdlife then the best time to visit is between May and November. Accommodation surrounding Lake Jozini is plentiful, ranging from popular self-catering camps to fully catered award winning lodges, many within the privately owned game reserves constituting the Pongola Game Reserve as a whole.

While Tiger fishing Lake Jozini is undoubtedly the main attraction and the first reason many people look for Lake Jozini accommodation the area is home to a myriad of wildlife and the bird watching is of the best in the country. So if Tiger fishing Lake Jozini is not your priority, you can opt to simply relax in style, enjoy the wildlife on a trail or game drives offered my most accommodation facilities.

Verkerhssichrheits -Tipps für Südafrika

Posted on February 20, 2012 by fabian

Autovermietung Südafrika ist eine der besten Möglichkeiten um sich im Land fortzubewegen. Mit einem Mietwagen können Sie dorthin reisen wo immer Sie wollen und das heißt auch, dass Sie sich nicht auf das öffentliche Transportsystem verlassen müssen, das sehr unzuverlässig sein kann.

Falls Sie ein Auto von der Autovermietung Südafrika mieten wollen, dann befolgen Sie diese einfachen Autovermietungs Tipps. Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie Ihren Wagen reichlich im  Vorraus buchen um eine Entäuschung zu vermeiden. Gut ist es auch immer, wenn Sie sich die Buchung kurz vor Ihrer Ankunft noch einmal bestätigen lassen. Dies gibt Ihnen noch einmal die Möglichkeit nach freien Upgrades oder nach Discounts zu fragen. Überlegen Sie sich, wie lange Sie den Wagen buchen wollen. Manchmal sind Wochenmieten günstiger als Tagesmieten. Falls Sie einen Wagen für mehr als 5 Tage brauchen, suchen Sie auf alle Fälle nach Vergleichsangeboten.

Denken Sie auch darüber nach, wer fahren wird. Südafrika ist sehr weitläufig und falls Sie lange Strecken fahren, ist es gut noch einen zweiten Fahrer zu haben um die Fahrzeiten zu teilen. Überlegen Sie sich auch, welchen Wagen Sie benötigen. In Südafrika haben viele Fahrzeuge Gangschaltung und keine Automatik, stellen Sie sicher dass jeder, der fährt den Wagen auch bedienen kann. Denken Sie auch über das Klima in Südafrika nach, da es ziemlich warm und sonnig ist, sollten Sie vielleicht eine Klimaanlage in Betracht ziehen.

Bedenken Sie auch welche Extras Sie benötigen, sowie Kindersitze und Dachgepäckträger. Es kann manchmal etwas schwierig sein sich in Südafrika zu orientieren. Falls Sie planen viel herumzufahren, ist es ganz ratsam wenn Sie sich ein GPS zu Ihrem Wagen dazubuchen. Halten Sie im Kopf, dass Sie auch für das Benzin zahlen müssen, das zusätzlich zu den Mietkosten hinzu kommt. Benzin in Südafrika kann ziemlich teuer sein im Verlgeich zu anderen Ländern und falls Sie Geld sparen wollen, dann mieten Sie doch einen etwas sparsameren Wagen. Wenn Sie den Wagen bei der Anmietung mit einem vollen Tank bekommen, stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie Ihn auch wieder vollgetankt zurueckbringen um zusätzliche Gebühren zu vermeiden.

Wählen Sie die beste Versicherung. Bei einer Anmietung in Suedafrika sollten Sie mit der Autovermietung und Ihrem persönlichen Versicherungsvertreter sicher gehen, dass Sie nicht nur bei Unfällen oder bei einer Panne versichert sind, sondern auch bei Einbrüchen oder Diebstahl ihres Mietwagens. Erkundigen Sie sich nach den Südafrikanischen Verkehrsregeln. In Südafrika fahren Sie auf der linken Seite und alle Autos, auch die Mietwagen haben das Lenkrad auf der rechten Seite. Die allgemeine Regel ist „halten Sie sich links, überholen Sie von rechts“ Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen sind in km/h angegeben und Sie sollten sich jederzeit daran halten. Wenn Sie fahren, muss jeder im Fahrzeug angeschnallt sein. Es ist illegal während der Fahrt zu telefonieren außer Sie benutzen eine Freisprechanlage. Und nun genießen Sie die Autovermietung Südafrika.

Cape Town Accommodation

Posted on January 5, 2012 by fabian

Voted Favourite Foreign City by the UK Telegraph in 2004, Cape Town is one of the places you just have to visit before you die. It’s an awesome city. All the vibe you want – great parties, great shopping and loads of galleries and other cultural attractions can’t detract from the fact that what makes Cape Town accommodationspecial is the fact that it is set in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Even Sir Francis Drake, who’d pretty much seen it all, called Cape Point the ‘fairest cape in all the circumference of the world’. It’s a needle-sharp promontory, which – contrary to marketing hype – does not divide the Indian Ocean from the Atlantic. But Capetonians claim it does and you can often see a line of foam heading straight out from the point – possibly all the way to Antarctica – which certainly divides the False Bay Coastline on the east from the Atlantic Seaboard on the west.

Shark Cage Diving and Viewing

Posted on December 20, 2011 by fabian

Divers, who are safe in the cage, listen to the dive master explaining the direction from which the shark is coming. Divers submerse themselves. Literally holding their breath next to the boat in the safety of the cage and await that once in a lifetime eye to eye contact with the Great White sharks

Passengers can also experience excellent surface viewing of the great white sharks from the boat’s upper deck, getting an all-round view of the sharks, circling and descending. It is the ideal spot to capture some fantastic shark pictures or shoot video footage – the water is no more than 9 meters deep.

Great White sharks can smell the chum slick (crushed tuna/skipjack or sardines) from a considerable distance. In addition, the crew pulls decoys or bait lines closer to the cage and boat to lure the magnificent creatures even closer. The shark, being an inquisitive creature, often comes right up to the boat, bringing it’s head above the sea level far enough out of the water that you can touch it. The banks of awesome razor edged teeth are but centimetres away – the huge gaping jaws revealing the true danger of the imminent encounter. The most feared predator of all the seas has arrived.
