Our Passion

JBK Outdoors is led by Andre van Niekerk, a former teacher, with a team of experienced fishing instructors. We take children and families to Cape Town dams to learn to fish properly and safely, and to respect the water and the wildlife around it. From time to time we also run programmes that bring children from underprivileged communities to Catch Club. Everything we do comes back to the meaning of JBK: Just Be Kind.

A huge thank you to Andre of JBK Outdoors for an AMAZING birthday for my son and his friends.
Fantastic communication before the party, informative pre-fishing demonstration by Andre and surprise guest Kian, individual attention throughout and most importantly, LOTS of fish caught!!

The boys LOVED every minute of the party and did not want to leave. A very big thank you, Andre and Kian for making it such a successful, fun and easy party! I highly recommend JBK Outdoors!
