South Africa's Mount Anderson Ranch
Mount Anderson Ranch
Guests at Mount Anderson Ranch can enjoy a wide diversity of activities in the company of a qualified ranger/ host. A compatible consequence of protecting the water catchments has been the outstanding trout fishing available on the property. There are extensive fishing opportunities for Brown and Rainbow trout with a total of 24 weirs, a large lake and long river catchments. The quality and diversity of the trout fishing suits all levels of ability from beginner to the more experienced. High quality fly-fishing rods and reels are available. A wildlife safari, conducted in a 4-wheel drive vehicle or on horseback, in the mountains surrounding the homestead, will yield herds of Africa's less famous antelope including eland, black wildebeest, blesbuck, mountain reedbuck and oribi. Catch a brief glimpse of predators such as the elusive leopard, jackal or caracal. Whilst Set in the dramatic highveld of the Drakensberg Mountains of the Mpumalanga Province, this 20,000 acre property in the catchments of the Kruger National Park provides an exclusive location for an unforgettable fishing and wildlife getaway. No less than five major rivers rise on the ranch providing magnificent trout fishing facilities, a wide variety of fauna and flora, and a remarkable selection of indigenous game and birdlife. Proclaimed in 1990 as a water conservancy, this unique venture provides environmental protection to Africa's high altitude flora and fauna. You might occasionally hear baboons barking from the cliff tops, the only disturbance to the solitude of one's trout fishing experience is caused by Africa's game approaching the streams to drink. Indigenous birdlife includes the brilliant malachite sunbird, the Cape vulture, the fish eagle and numerous species of francolin.
