Oct/Nov

This is not a guided holiday – it’s a true exploratory expedition into one of South Africa’s most remote and untouched river systems.

Our Blyde River Yellowfish Expedition is designed for those who crave adventure, challenge, and discovery.

Consisting of two exclusive trips, each with a 4-day duration, this remote camping experience takes you deep into rugged terrain in pursuit of elusive Blyde River yellowfish. Access is difficult, conditions are rough, and comfort is minimal – but the reward is an authentic wilderness experience few will ever encounter.

Participants should be in good physical condition, as this expedition involves serious hiking over steep, uneven terrain, river crossings, and long days on foot carrying gear. This is a physically demanding experience that requires stamina, resilience, and a positive team mindset.

Days are spent navigating wild river stretches, exploring uncharted waters, and targeting yellowfish in pristine surroundings. Nights are remote bush camps, shared meals, and stories under the stars, far removed from civilization.

This expedition is not for the faint-hearted.
Spaces are extremely limited, and only two trips will be run.

Fly Fishing

  • Rod – 5 to 6 Wt 
  • Reel – matching with your rod size
  • Line – floating line and intermediate
  • Leader – Sselection of 6 – 12lbs tapered leaders
  • Flies – Streamer flies and any flies that you can swing through the faster moving water.

(This is an exploratory trip so bring a good selection of flies)
