Lake Jozini Experience.
We help guests experience Lake Jozini through guided tiger fishing trips shaped around the water, the fish, the wildlife and responsible catch-and-release.
For Philip van Wyk, tiger fishing is far more than a sport—it is a lifelong passion and an opportunity to share one of South Africa’s most exciting wilderness experiences with others.
As the owner and lead fishing guide of Tiger Hunter Tours & Safaris, Philip combines his extensive knowledge of Lake Jozini with a genuine love for fishing, nature and the outdoors. He understands the behaviour of the powerful African tiger fish and knows the waters, conditions and techniques needed to give guests the best possible opportunity for a successful catch.
Philip welcomes both experienced anglers and complete beginners. His patient, relaxed approach ensures that every guest feels comfortable, while his determination and enthusiasm keep each fishing trip exciting. From helping guests select the right tackle and bait to guiding them through the fight of landing their first tiger fish, Philip is personally involved throughout the experience.
