Tenahead Mountain LodgeTenahead Mountain Lodge is located high in the Drakensbergs in 3,500 hectares of unspoilt mountains, valleys and streams.  It is the perfect place to relax, fish, and hike during a holiday to South Africa and it is highly suited to non-fishing partners.  The lodge is 60 kilometres from Rhodes.  Accommodation is in very comfortable rooms in the lodge with private bathrooms.  All meals, snacks, teas and coffees, game drives, spotlight game drives at night, horse riding and transfers to and from Rhodes are included.

The area around the lodge boasts some of the finest rainbow trout, brown trout and yellowfish fishing in the country.  Rhodes, Barkly East, Maclear and surrounding areas have over 1000km of fishable water on more than 12 different rivers.  Trout were introduced into these river systems over 80 years ago and now breed naturally, they average between 10 and 14 inches, but fish of 6 to 10 pounds have been caught.  A good number of streams, below 7000ft above sea level have a run of yellowfish from October to March.  The trout season is from 1 September to 31 May.
