Dullstroom is one of South Africa’s best trout fishing spots – so much so that it’s considered the fly fishing capital of South Africa. Walkersons Hotel & Spa is a fabulous luxury option for fly fisherfolk, because it’s set amid lakes and dams where rainbow and brown trout are to be found. Guides are available at Walkersons for beginners trying their hand at fly fishing. When you’re not out fishing, enjoy the comforts of the handsome lodge, have a spa treatment or two, catch a workout at the gym, go horse riding or head out into nature with a picnic basket. Mail us.
