Shangaa Tigerfish Camp

FreshwaterLake Nyerere (Nyerere Dam) — Nyerere National Park

Shangaa is a seasonal tented camp for up to eight guests on a peninsula of the Nyerere dam, opened in 2026 by African Waters, the outfitter once known as Tourette Fishing. Two guests share each 18-foot boat, fishing flooded timber and wind-blown shorelines for tigerfish and vundu. Trips are hosted rather than fully guided, with stays of two to seven nights.
