Carlo Boshoff has loved fishing since he could hold a fishing pole. His passion started on the Indian Ocean and the inland lakes of South Africa. His hobby stayed with him growing up in the hills of South Dakota, there he learned about fly fishing. Once hooked, he naturally made his way to the mountains of Montana to refine his skills. In 1999, with the lodge here in Costa Rica being just a few drawings on a piece of paper, Carlo once again started exploring a new enivironment to fish in. From the small streams next to the lodge, to the huge Pacific Ocean with countless gems waiting for the right bait. Although he learned quite a bit in those first years at the lodge, he had a life change in 2005 and returned to Montana leaving many secrets still undiscovered. After spending 6 years as a guide on the Bighorn River, Carlo became a master not only of fly fishing, but also the art of guiding other people into getting fish. In 2012 Carlo and his wife were ready to return to Costa Rica to take over management of Rafiki Safari Lodge. Carlo came back with the same passion for fishing as always, but now he has all sorts of great fishing adventures and all sorts of different fish to catch!
Carlo can take you fishing along the banks of the Savegre on foot or with an oar frame raft. He also has an amazing tour that takes you down the last 3 kilometers of the Saverge, through the mangroves and up the estuary of the Portalon river in a drift boat.

Amatuers are welcome to try their luck, Carlo does teach fly fishing, and if you prefer, he always has a few cast rods available.
