With the first hint of spring in the air, good snowmelt and some early rain, the upcoming 2025/26 fly fishing season at Makhangoa Community Camp is shaping up to be a good one.
Annual winter camp upgrades are nearing completion, so both returning guests and first-time visitors will enjoy improvements. While on the subject of returning guests, it’s worth noting that some 85% of visitors are repeat clients – which speaks volumes about the MCC magic.

• Small groups – max eight rods
• World-class guides
• Community-based tourism that makes a real difference
• Exclusive river access
• Exceptional sight fishing
• A cutting-edge fishery management plan
