We have been lucky enough to stay at Shackletons 3 times in the last 10 months and every time we have left smiling. Excellent food, friendly and helpful staff and attention to detail is spot on. We will be back!

Reading the reviews of my friends below, Neil and Chris ( Team Westophertjies ) as well as Ian (DaktariSouthAfrica), there is not much more to be said except that they hit the nail on the head. What a superb experience.

Shackletons offers comfortable, even luxurious, I suppose, accommodation. Food and service is excellent! The river guides are experienced and friendly ..... and the fishing is great! I spend 10 days there over Christmas and New Year 2011 and can assure anyone this is one of the greatest experiences you can get! One problem.....my wife, who hated fishing, is now completely...

I recently went on a trip with some friends to Shackletons lodge in Zambia, what an experience! Howard and Sherie and their friendly staff go way beyond the extra mile to make you feel at home. Situated right on the banks of the Zambezi river, the tiger fishing was superb with plenty of action happening every day. You will go... More

Shakelton's is truly the most relaxing holiday, its 5 star luxury in the bush with some of the best tiger fishing I've ever experienced. The hospitality was nothing less... More

Thank you Howard and Sherie for a wonderful 5 days. Michael in his element!!!!! As a Zimbabwean, he literally grew up with a fishing rod in his hand, but has never experienced fishing like he did at Shackletons. At the ripe age of 52, he broke his past record for Tiger virtually on a daily basis. The volume of fish... More
