For anyone with an interest in history, the battlefield sites of Zululand are fascinating.

Isandlwana Lodge
Begin your battlefields adventure at Isandlwana Lodge, which is dramatically built into the rock from which the Zulu Commander watched the Battle of Isandlwana. The luxurious bedrooms have balconies which look over the plains to Mount Isandlwana; and the comfortable sitting room, dining room and bar have the same wonderful view. The battlefields tours, conducted by resident historian, Rob Gerrard, are electrifying. As his dramatic description of the battle of Isandlwana unfolds and the historic locations of the story surround you, the battle scenes are vividly brought to life.

Fugitives Drift Lodge
Then visit Fugitives' Drift Lodge and stay in your own large, comfortable cottage set in an enchanting garden and overlooking the plains surrounding Buffalo River Gorge. Take a battlefields' tour and stand on the actual site of the incredibly heroic battle of Rorke's Drift. Be spellbound as the lecturer describes each stage of the battle. Follow this with a trip - on horseback if you can ride - to the Lodge's own game reserve to view the abundant game and birdlife at very close quarters. End the day with a delicious dinner in the Lodge's dining room.
