Rivendell Trout Estate

The Property

Rivendell Trout Estate falls within the Mount Anderson Water Catchment Reserve, a Conservancy of many thousands of hectares where kudu, bushbuck, duiker, bushpigs and baboons are prolific and untroubled, wandering the entire area at will and often grazing peacefully while visitors fly fish for trout. Klipspringer are seen almost daily and leopard are seen regularly – occasionally even during the day.

Stay in one of our family cottages on the Spekboom River in the Finsbury Valley, and build unforgettable memories while fly fishing for trout, going for nature walks and enjoying a game drive. Situated en-route to the Kruger National Park and centrally located for day visits to great destinations such as Dullstroom, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, Sudwala Caves and Pilgrim’s Rest.
