About Jigalouw
Fishing Adventures

Jigalouw Fishing Adventures is the exclusive fishing charter partner of Barra Cabanas — the only activity we offer directly at the lodge. The name Jigalouw honours both the art of jigging and the Louw family name behind this passionate operation.

Based right here at Barra Inn, Jigalouw puts you on the water with experienced Skipper Captain Ronaldo Louw and Ghillie Mavo, a local fisherman who grew up in the waters of Mozambique. Whether you're a seasoned angler chasing marlin or a first-timer hoping to land a yellowfin tuna, the crew ensures an unforgettable day offshore.
