One of the most important requirements for a successful safari is a good guide. We take this seriously and devote time and effort in selecting and training our guides.

To become an African Angler guide requires a minimum of 18 months training as an assistant guide before we consider giving them command of a fishing boat. Our guides spend a lot of time on safari and as a result they all have an excellent knowledge of Lake Nasser.

When we select our guides we look for what we call a ‘hunting instinct’ and a genuine feel for fishing.
The personality of the guide is also important, as is their ability to communicate; all our guides are fluent in English.
