Sport & Activities

Fishing: The rivers and the interior abound in game fish, the best known of which is the man-eating piranha (called locally perai). The most sought after by the sportsman is the lucanni, a fish similar to the large-mouth bass. Most of the interior rivers are difficult for the more casual visitor to get to, but those who book in advance can reach them by air. Some of the coastal rivers within reach of Georgetown are also good for fishing, although it is wise to stay overnight in the fishing grounds, as the best are four to five hours’ drive from the city. Fishing licences are required.

Horseriding: Horses are available at Manari Ranch in the Rupununi Savannahs.

Other: Cricket and hockey are both popular, and the Bourda is one of the most attractive cricket grounds in the area.
