Fishing

There are better sport fishing opportunities in Ethiopia. Rivers and lakes are full of a wide variety of fish, some of the extraordinary size. Ethiopia boasts more than 200 species of freshwater fish, including Nile perch, immense catfish, tigerfish, and brown and rainbow trout. Very few Ethiopians are anglers so visitors will find many unspoiled areas where they can fish in peace. A typical day’s fishing may also include the bonus of seeing families of hippo, giant crocodiles, or pink clouds of flamingos.
