The Komati River winds through the lowveld of Mpumalanga province in eastern South Africa, offering one of the country's most exciting freshwater fishing experiences. Flowing near the border with Mozambique and Eswatini, this river is one of the few places in South Africa where anglers can target the legendary tigerfish in a true wilderness setting. The stretch of river near the Mjejane Game Reserve — where approximately 7 kilometers of the Komati flows through the reserve — provides a particularly scenic and productive fishery, set against a backdrop of bushveld and wildlife. The combination of wild surroundings, challenging fish, and accessible guided experiences makes the Komati a bucket-list destination for freshwater anglers across southern Africa.
