Fishing adventure st. Lazarus Bank and Querimbas Archipelago
Immerse yourself in a paradise island world with coral reefs and untouched landscapes, Mozambique is without question one of the most beautiful countries on earth.
Since tourism has so far hardly entered here and sports anglers are also extremely rare, this area in south-east Africa is extremely attractive.
We offer “Live Aboard Tours” on a catamaran in Mozambique. I.e. Upon arrival, you will be picked up from the airport, boarded and will be at sea around the clock for the entire duration to explore and fish the island world and the exciting Fishing adventure in MOZAMBIQUE grounds. If you wish, you can of course also spend a few extra days in a lodge at the end of the tour.
The St. Lazarus Bank is located about 45 nautical miles off the coast and has an extension of about 9 x 18 km. On the steep slopes you quickly reach 1500-2000 meters water depth – on the bank the water depth goes from 60 meters in the shallow areas to less than 10 meters in the shallowest places. Flushed by the warm Mozambique current, this remote area is a magnet for predatory fish. Every year from August to February, millions of tons of shrimps are found on the bank, offering all sea predators a well-laid table.
Fishing trips MOZAMBIQUE
It is mainly rainbow runners that feed on the crustaceans – and these in turn are prey fish for the big predators. You don’t have to be a fishing trips in MOZAMBIQUE biologist to imagine that this place is a magical attraction for almost all fish species in the region.

The local people say – if you have a bait, wobbler, blinker or similar that has never caught a fish anywhere – take it to St. Lazarus Bank and the fish will take it apart….
