Africa Untouched: Popper & Lure Fishing at Sette Cama, Gabon

Sette Cama is one of Africa’s last great saltwater frontiers, a wild fishery on Gabon’s untouched Atlantic coast that delivers power, size and intensity in equal measure. For anglers who like extreme action, it is a holiday that blends raw wilderness with some of the hardest-hitting fishing on earth.

Here, the surf and estuary hold extraordinary predators. Whitefin Jack, African Threadfin, Senegal Kob, Cubera Snapper and Guinean Barracuda all patrol these waters, many exceeding 50kg. Tarpon ambush with violent strikes, tearing through bait and testing stamina with aerial runs. Whether casting from the surf, drifting the estuary or working poppers into boiling waves, every encounter is full contact.

Fishing is guided by seasoned locals who know the tides, terrain and timing of this unique coastline. Each session is built around conditions, ensuring anglers are in the right water with the right approach, whether on lures, bait or flies when the surf allows.

Accommodation is in twin-room chalets set on the edge of Loango National Park, each with private decking, hot showers and views across pristine wilderness. It is a setting where elephants walk the beach, buffalo graze the edge and the sunsets frame the horizon in colour. Meals are included throughout, with buffet breakfasts, beachside lunches and freshly prepared evening dinners featuring local fish, meats and vegetarian options.

For anglers who like wild Africa, big predators and the thrill of savage strikes, Sette Cama offers a holiday that balances extreme fishing with the atmosphere of one of the world’s most remote coastlines.

"Flights were a pain and takes a long time to get there however we soon forgot about the journey once at the stunning camp. wow, what a location the guys there have done a great job. Now the fishing - I didn't realise how fast paced it would be and next time I will be more prepared and a visit to the gym is essential. Running up and down the beach chasing fish is hard work but I enjoyed every minute. Thanks for your hard work"

"The fishing was very difficult. the winds during the week never died down making casting very difficult especially when faced with big waves. The guides took us to different areas that was a little easier however the fishing was not as good as expected. Perhaps next time we should book further in advance so we can pick better times"

Must take some more lures next time as lost a few and another angler was ever so kind and lent me some of his. Thanks for a memorable trip"

The camp and location of Sette Cama Gabon fishing trips have the longest stretch of untouched coastline left on the African continent. Along with a massive estuary system rich in nutrients, Sette Cama offers the avid saltwater fishermen the opportunity to experience the thrill of targeting the numerous and unique species of West Africa with both spin and fly tackle.  The abundance of large and aggressive game fish, all eager to attack a well-fished lure, is complimented by Africa’s most pristine tropical rain forest, which creates the backdrop to this one of a kind saltwater fishing experience.

Many of these species grow to more than 50 kg.

The estuary (by boat) and adjacent beaches provide unparalleled fishing suited to anglers who like to cast artificials or a combination of lures and natural baits and even flies when conditions are right. So if you are looking for something a little different for your next adventure but still want to take giant fish, this place must be up there on your bucket lists.
