Our next 10-day fishing tour runs from 1–10 November 2026. Five further departures are planned for 2027. The focus is the remote coastal fishing experience around the Flamingo / Vanessa region rather than trying to turn the trip into a rushed sightseeing checklist.

Plan for 12 days overall: the brochure includes a separate arrival day and homeward departure day around the 10 days in Angola. Confirm meeting and travel dates when booking.

YOUR ROUTE
Day-by-day itinerary
10 days in Angola, 12 days overall. Arrive at Palmeiras Lodge the day before for the 17:00–18:00 briefing. Depart for home the day after returning to Oshikango. Timing and route sequence may change with weather, tides, border procedures and local access.
Current prices and included expedition services are shown at the start of the brochure. Ask us to confirm early-booking availability and terms.
DAY 1
Santa Clara – Lubango – Leba Plateau
The following morning, cross into Angola and travel through the southern highlands towards Lubango and Humpata. Continue to the Serra da Leba area for the first night in Angola.
DAY 2
Leba – Namibe – Flamingo Coast
Descend Serra da Leba towards the desert and replenish supplies in Namibe before continuing to the coast. Settle into camp and, conditions permitting, enjoy the first afternoon fishing session.
DAY 3
Flamingo Coast
Dedicate a full day to surf fishing. Exact fishing areas and target species are selected according to season, water temperature, sea conditions and local knowledge.
DAY 4
Flamingo Coast – Tombua – Vanessa Shipwreck
Travel south through Tombua and onto the increasingly remote coastline. Fish selected stretches en route before reaching the Vanessa Shipwreck for a wild camp beside the Atlantic.
DAY 5
Flamingo Coast – Beach Fishing
Spend a full day beach fishing on the Flamingo Coast, between Namibe and the entrance to Doodsakker. Select the exact stretch according to fishing, weather, sea conditions and safe access.
DAY 6
Vanessa – Doodsakker – Foz do Cunene
Complete the Doodsakker / Death Acre section when tides and beach conditions allow safe passage, then continue towards the Cunene River Mouth. Fishing on arrival depends on timing and conditions.
DAY 7
Foz do Cunene
Spend a full day exploring and fishing the Cunene Mouthʼs surf and river-mouth areas. Select sessions and fishing positions around the conditions rather than a fixed clock schedule.
DAY 8
Foz do Cunene
A second dedicated day gives the group time to respond to the fishing. Adjust tactics, try different water and make the most of the area without immediately packing up and moving on.
DAY 9
Cunene – Iona National Park – Namibe
Travel through Iona National Parkʼs desert landscapes and return to Namibe. Overnight arrangements depend on the group; a hotel stay is not fixed.
DAY 10
Namibe – Lubango – Oshikango
Travel via Lubango and Santa Clara, crossing into Namibia in the afternoon. Overnight at Palmeiras Lodge, Oshikango, with a farewell evening after the ten-day Angola tour.
WHY 4x4 MATTERS
The coast is part of the challenge.
Remote access and changing route conditions are part of the expedition. Expect the journey, coastal access and fishing to form part of the same expedition.
