Your Guide to the Drakensberg and Natal Midlands

Dullstroom - Mpumalanga South Africa

Dullstroom is home to South Africa’s finest trout fishing rivers. Many of the guest farms around Dullstroom cater purely for the angler and provide whatever is necessary to help catch that elusive fish, apart from luck that is! Dullstroom also has the accolade of being the coldest place in South Africa in winter, but the trout seem to love it. The rivers were originally stocked in 1916 from hatcheries in the mountains of the Cape Winelands. The hatchlings did so well that today angling tourism and the breeding of trout for the table are the most important industries in the area. 

Dullstroom - Mpumalanga South Africa Like many towns in the area, Dullstroom has its Boer War memories and when it was razed to the ground, the women and children were removed to a British concentration camp. Many died fighting and others died in detention. A stone memorial and garden of remembrance remind us of those terrible times. 

Explore the fragrance of Dullstroom with its scenic hikes, horse riding trails and picnic spots beside breathtaking waterfalls. Walk through an abundance of wild flowers and catch a glimpse of the secretive fauna. Explore the speciality shops filled with knick-knacks and enjoy the sublime cuisine. 

Dullstroom is passionately committed to the development of the Mpumalanga tourism industry, with the focus on Dullstroom. We aim to offer our valued guest the very best. Due to the nature of our various venues, guests will come into contact with South Africans from all walks of life, sharing in the rich tapestry of cultures and people that make South Africa the “Rainbow Nation”. Dullstroom dates back to the early 1880's when Dutch Settlers made their way to the place of "eternal mist". The town is situated at 2100 m above sea level, making this one of the highest towns in the country. The architecture in the town is a mixture of 19th and 20th century building designs. Dullstroom is on the panorama route, halfway from Johannesburg to the Kruger National Park. The ideal stop over! You will find the village of Dullstroom to be a charming little hamlet situated in the heart of the Highlands Meander, a beautiful part of Mpumalanga, noted for it's clear streams, lakes and breathtaking scenery.
