This malaria free area, roughly demarcated by a line joining the towns of Lydenburg, Belfast and Waterval Boven, is less than 3 h drive from Gauteng and is home to some of the finest trout fishing venues in the Country. Central to the Trout Triangle is the Kwena Basin. The Kwena Basin - where friendships are born. The Kwena Basin is a unique area of South Africa where trout breed naturally in pristine clear streams and magnificent indigenous forests abounding with bird and animal life adorn rugged mountain slopes. The climate is temperate and the region is steeped in both ancient and more recent history. The Crocodile River - where Rainbows breed naturally.
