Jozini Tiger Lodge and Spa sits on a hill above Lake Jozini in northern KwaZulu-Natal. The resort has 70 air-conditioned rooms with lake views. Tiger fishing, boat cruises, and a spa are on site.
The lodge overlooks Lake Jozini, also called Pongolapoort Dam. Tigerfish are the main draw. Bream, barbel, and kurper are also caught here. Guests can bring a boat or hire one with a fishing guide from the lodge. Fly fishing and conventional tackle both work. Hippos and crocodiles use the shoreline, so most fishing is from boats. Confirm boat hire, guide fees, and fishing rules with the venue.
