Royal barotse
Fishing Safaris
Four exclusive fishing safaris across two iconic African rivers, all thoughtfully crafted and personally hosted.
The RBS Difference
We don't Do Ordinary
With a deep love for adventure, every Royal Barotse safari was first imagined by Gavin Johnson as the kind of experience he would seek out himself—always in pursuit of something truly unique and exceptional. From discovering the powerful Ngonye Falls to fishing the untouched reaches of the Kwando, each safari offers something distinct, adventurous, and far removed from the typical fishing trip.
