The meeting
Namibe
The week starts in Moçâmedes. The bay is still a working harbour, desert already on the hills behind it. You meet Boeta here, then the road turns south and the town drops away.

The coast
Desert on the left. Atlantic on the right.
About 200 kilometres of southern Angola, from the harbour at Namibe to the Kunene. These are the places the week actually moves through.
02
Past Tômbua
The dune coast
Tyres down after Tômbua. The dunes walk straight into the Atlantic, and for a long stretch the beach is the road. This is where the current starts to matter more than the map.
03
Two days
Iona
Iona is the reason for the trip. Two days on this shore for big kob, paddletails and bait, with the Namib on one shoulder and empty surf on the other. No crowd.
04
The old station
Baía dos Tigres
An old fishing station the desert took back. The buildings sit in the sand, the bay is still wild, and the water in front of them is the kind of water you came for.
05
The far edge
The Kunene
The park closes on the Kunene, the last green water before Namibia. Palms, rock, and a river that has no business being this alive in the Namib. That is the end of the week.
A working coast
A small group, not a convoy.
Local boats still work these beaches. You are not joining a lodge circuit. You drive your own vehicle, fish with Boeta, and leave the sand the way you found it.
The fish
What you are fishing for.
Garrick
Coastal surf for garrick (leervis), elf, and whatever the current pushes in.
Kob
Two days at Iona on paddletails and bait for big kob (kabeljou).
Bronze whalers
Wild water, empty beaches and room to cast.
Your guide
Boeta Louw has been chasing fish since he was a kid.
The current decides the day. You just have to be there when it turns.
Based in Namibia, he meets the group in Namibe and can help with the drive in.
