Worming your way around Lake Kariba

All fishermen will tell you that the best worms are the “anaconda” ones.  Between Harare and Karoi. especially south of Banket,  keep a look out for the road side sellers. 
Then it’s tight lines as you head for the beautiful Lake Kariba.

You can of course pre-order bait as well as rods.

Whatever you do, do not forget ice and lots of it.  Out all day on the lake you are going to need it.

If you opt for catering to be supplied there is a wide variety of menus to suit. 
One of the more popular ones is the Brunch menu.
