Through the wild rugged scenery of the Drakensberg Mountains in the Mpumalanga Province, flows one of the finest trout fishing streams in the country. Here, on the banks of the beautiful Spekboom River, you will find Highland Run Fly Fishing Estate, the perfect habitat for both trout and fishermen. Forming part of the Mount Anderson Water Catchment Reserve, Highland Run is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, including many species of antelope and the elusive leopard. If you are able to tear yourself away from the 5km of rapids, riffles, runs, glides and pools, you can hike and bike in the reserve in the company of over a hundred species of highveld avifauna. The magic Spekboom Valley, accessed via a 17km dirt road near Lydenburg, still bears relics of its romantic gold rush days. There are two large, charming and fully appointed self-catering cottages, where highly trained housekeepers see to your comfort. Thanks to its remote location and bright starlit skies, the apr s fishing experience at Highland Run creates many special memories.
