Hi Kristoffer,
Yes we offer half day and full day trolling. You can also fish from our shores. Usually you only get a small Tilapia, but we had a girl take out a rather large Nile Perch from shore.
Let me get back to you with more details and prices.
Greetings,
Petra

Een sjoelbak? You must be Dutch (so am I). I’ve heard good stories about Banda and I would love to visit this weekend. I’m at the Buddhist centre now, which is pretty close to you. The planning is still a bit of a puzzle, but would it be possible to stay in the dormatory for one or two nights? Alvast dank, Willemijn

Hoi Willemien,
Gezellig! Gaan we een tournooitje sjoelen doen met kerst. We hebben plek voor jou in de dorm, maar je kunt ook lazy camping kiezen. Er gaat een snelle, goede boot op de 23e in de ochtend vanaf Kasenyi – terug op de 26e. Zou dat uitkomen?
Groeten,
Petra
