Fishing is mainly from boats but with lengthy river frontage, bank angling is also rewarding. Tiger fish, famous for their fighting ability and with specimens up to 10 kilograms taken in the area are usually top of the list. Other angling species include Chessa, Nkupe, Tilapia (bream), Bottlenose and Cornish Jack. If interested in Extreme freshwater fishing, Vundu, the river monster of the Zambezi is found in the area.

Birding Zambia is well known as a birding destination with over 740 species so far recorded. Of these some 400 may be found in the Zambezi Valley.

Birding in the vicinity of the Lodge is therefore excellent with sightings of such sought after species, as the African (Angola) Pitta, Pel's Fishing Owl, Peregrine Falcon, Bat Hawk and African Skimmers.
