Dullstroom is especially famous for its world-class trout fishing, with pristine rivers that draw fly-fishing enthusiasts from around the globe. Many local guest farms are designed with anglers in mind, offering all the facilities and guidance needed for a successful and memorable fishing experience. The cold winter months, while brisk, are perfect for trout fishing, making Dullstroom a year-round haven for nature lovers and fishermen alike.
The region’s trout waters were first stocked in 1916, using hatchlings from the Cape Winelands, and have since flourished. Today, trout breeding and angling tourism play a central role in the local economy, making fishing a proud part of Dullstroom’s identity.
Beyond its natural appeal, Dullstroom also offers a window into South Africa’s rich history. The town carries poignant memories from the Anglo-Boer War era, when it was destroyed, and its residents were displaced to British concentration camps. A solemn stone memorial and garden of remembrance honour those who suffered, drawing visitors interested in paying tribute and exploring the area’s past.
With its stunning landscapes, historic significance, and wide range of accommodation options, Dullstroom welcomes families, couples, and solo travellers alike for an unforgettable escape in the Highlands of South Africa.
