For varying reasons of geography and politics, the northeastern corner of KwaZulu-Natal has seen clashes between numerous armies, including British, Boer and Zulu.

There are names that resound in the psyche of all three peoples: Isandlwana, Rorke’s Drift, Spioenkop and Blood River to name just a few.

Zulu War

The guiding is amongst the best you will experience anywhere in the world, and as you listen to expertly recounted tales of how a hundred British soldiers held off some 4,000 Zulus at Rorke’s Drift, or how nearly 1,800 were killed a few hours earlier at the battle of Isandlwana.

Boer War

Learn how Ghandi, Paul Kruger and Winston Churchill were all involved in a desperate struggle for the desolate summit of Spioenkop, during the Boar War; you will be engaged, informed and greatly moved.

There are numerous lodges in this area and all offer tours of these battlefields.
