Dullstroom Attractions

Dullstroom started out in the 1880s as a small farming community but has evolved into one of Mpumalanga’s top tourist attractions.

Its location is perfect. It is close enough to Johannesburg, Pretoria and Mbombela to accommodate a spur-of-the-moment daytrip. But it is also “far” enough so that travellers can truly feel they’ve left the hustle and bustle of the city behind.

Dullstroom is in the South African highlands and is also the highest town in the country. It offers attractions for the young and old, the wanderers and the bold, foodies and artists, anglers, sport and nature enthusiasts, and absolutely everyone in between.
