Mauritius
Mauritius is the place to land the king of big game fishing, the Blue Marlin.
The banks surrounding the island paradise of Mauritius teem with fish, including bonito, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, sailfish, dorado, tiger sharks and mako sharks. As you glide across pristine waters the excitement builds, and when you get that tug on your line, you’ll have to do some work to find out if you’ve sneered the king of big game fishing, the Blue Marlin. It’s an angler’s paradise but all fishing charters take in exquisite scenery as they explore beautiful lagoons and small islets around Mauritius, so it’s a great journey even for the non-fishers.
Zimbabwe
