Local Fisherman rescued on the Zambezi River by Shackleton’s guests

Our thanks to Remi and the Clements  fishing team who rescued a desperate fisherman from the top of the reeds after his mokoro had been attacked by a hippo.  Whilst out fishing, with Mathew Clements, our most senior fishing guide, Remy heard the cry for help and immediately took the boat to search around the island. They managed to get one of the fishermen to safety but sadly the second fisherman had drowned along with the mokoro they were fishing in.
