 The HOME of  SPORT FISHING in THE GAMBIA

The Gambia is a very popular sport fishing holiday destination & boasts an extensive variety of fish species the saltwater angler has come to enjoy.

Whether you will be chartering our boat to target the
giant tarpon in the river estuary, sport fishing over the reefs & sandbars, light tackle sport fishing in the beautiful & calm waters of the creeks & bolongs, or spending the day on the beach shore angling along some of Gambia's unspoilt coastline - African Angler will help you get the most out of your 'Gambia Fishing' adventure.
 

With over 20 years of experience in this field we can offer you a unique insight into one of the best angling environments in West Africa.

If you are an adventurous & imaginative Angler & enjoy the excitement of fishing abroad in countries who also provide a cultural and colourful experience then we invite you to share our passion!
