Why go
Dullstroom is South Africa's trout-fishing capital — high on the Mpumalanga escarpment, cold enough for snow in winter, and a popular Joburg weekend escape on the road to Kruger.
What we love
Trout dams, whisky bars, and the highveld mist.
What to know
2.5h from Johannesburg; a car is essential. One of the coldest towns in SA.
