Situated in South Africa’s Mpumalanga Highlands en route to the scenic Panorama Route, Dullstroom is a small mountain village renowned for its cool climate and relaxed rural charm. Perched at over 2,000 metres above sea level, it is one of the country’s highest settlements and offers a refreshing escape from the heat of the Lowveld below. The village is best known as a premier fly-fishing destination, with crystal-clear dams and streams stocked with trout. Surrounding grasslands and wetlands attract diverse birdlife, including endangered crane species, making the area popular with nature enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy walking trails, nearby nature reserves such as Verloren Vallei, and leisurely time in the village’s cafés, whisky bars and art galleries, all set against misty hills and crisp mountain air.
