Yellow Fever Vaccinations
The WHO has revised the Yellow Fever (YF) vaccination recommendations for Africa. The South African Department of Health has issued the following information regarding the requirements for travelers from and to South Africa:
Zambia
Returning travellers from South Africa to Zambia and travellers from Zambia to South Africa will now require proof of YF vaccination. Previously, proof of YF vaccination was not required.
Established in May, 2008, the Barotse Tiger Camp is Angle Zambia's latest innovation, offering fishing enthusiasts and guest's world-class tented luxury accommodation and unparalleled guided fly fishing adventures in one of the most pristine and remote freshwater fishing locations on earth.
Hidden within the upper reaches of the mighty Zambezi's 20 000 km2 Barotse Flood plain, this unique setting is nestled within a secluded paradise of lush bush land and untouched river waters teeming with trophy Barotse tiger fish as well as several species of bream.
The extremely abundant eco-system exists due to the remoteness of Barotseland, which forms part of the Kingdom of the Lozi and is situated in western Zambia, stretching along the length of the Zambezi River from the Caprivi Strip to the northern border of Angola.

The clear, pristine stretches of river in the Barotse region consist of myriad islands, lagoons and
channels which combine to create an idyllic setting - and world-class freshwater fishing conditions.
Fishing excursions at Barotse Tiger Camp are the order of the day along the river banks in customized 18 ft aluminum boats powered by 60hp Mercury 4 stroke motors and equipped with GPS fish finder combo's, especially designed for anglers. Comfortably accommodating two fly fishermen, each boat is skippered by one of our knowledgeable and experienced local river guides.
Teeming with huge schools of fish, particularly tiger-fish and several species of bream, including threespot and nembwe, daily excursions deliver action and excitement.
The Barotse tiger-fish are undoubtedly among the biggest in the world and this region boasts most of the IGFA records. The feisty Barotse tiger-fish never disappoint with their acrobatic and powerful runs and the thrill of regularly hooking and landing trophy tiger-fish, is a truly exhilarating experience!

The Barotse Tiger Camp rests gracefully upon the eastern bank of the magnificent Zambezi River, opposite the
Liuwa Plains National Park, within a picturesque bush setting.
The main tented area offers guests an opulent and relaxing fusion of Afro-colonial chic, comprising a stylish bar and lounge tent and separate dining tent - the perfect settings in which to relax and enjoy sun-downers and fine cuisine prepared by our in-house chef after a long day of fishing on the Zambezi.
We also have a stunning swimming pool overlooking the Zambezi, the ideal way to cool off with an ice cold cocktail watching the sunset at the end of a hot African day.
Each of the six sumptuous river-front tents are discretely situated within their own private setting, with unforgettable views across the Zambezi river and the Barotse Flood-plain.
The well-appointed tented accommodation is available with single or double beds, with each tent having en-suite bathroom facilities. All beds are fitted with unobtrusive mosquito nets and the plush bathrooms offer guests hot and cold running water, flush toilets, marble basins and private out-door showers.

Lunch need not interrupt a good day's fishing.
