CONDITIONS AND ATMOSPHERE:

Week 10 at Kendjam, and it feels as though the season has just begun. Here, in the untamed wilds of the Amazon, each week is as remarkable as the first, a rare claim that few lodges around the globe can boast. For those contemplating a journey to our jungle paradise, rest assured—whether it’s the first week or the last, the experience will be nothing short of extraordinary.

The water levels have dropped to their lowest, making the rivers crystal clear and the peacock bass more active than ever. Sight fishing with dry flies is at its peak, offering a challenge and thrill that keeps even the most seasoned anglers coming back for more.

This week, we had the pleasure of hosting a family of five alongside three highly experienced anglers who demonstrated their expertise with every cast. The combination of youthful excitement and seasoned skill made for an unforgettable week.

• Total Fish Landed: 493

Biggest Fish Landed:

WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS:

This week’s highlights are the kind that make stories to be told around campfires for years to come. First and foremost, the young anglers, Lolla and Tilly, stole the show, catching a variety of species with a skill and enthusiasm that left everyone impressed. Kendjam has once again proven to be an ideal destination for families, where both young and old can create memories that will last a lifetime.

Our seasoned friend Bob delivered a masterclass in jungle fishing, demonstrating his expertise by landing some truly magnificent fish, reminding us all of the magic that lies beneath these waters.

And then, as if the week could get any better, our guests were treated to a rare and breathtaking encounter—a jaguar sighting. Such moments are rare and fleeting, yet they remain etched in memory, a reminder of the untamed beauty of this place.

As the season progresses, the opportunities dwindle—2025 is filling up fast. Don’t miss your chance to experience the adventure of a lifetime. Who knows, the jaguar might just be waiting to say hello.
