The names of Isandlwana and Rorkes Drift still resound clearly to this day. It's at these sites that turning points in history were created, not only for the Zulu nation, but for the English and French nations as well. On the 22nd of January 1879 the modern, well armed British forces encamped on the slopes of a remote hill called Isandlwana were detroyed in 90min by an idigenous people, the Zulu's armed with nothing but spears. On that very same day, hours later, 150 British soldiers at a outpost in rural Zululand despreatly fought for their lives at a crossing point known as Rorkes Drift. Explore their stories that were brought to life inthe films "Zulu" and "Zulu Dawn" on this full day battlefiels tour.
You'll be collected from your hotel or B&B at 6:00am for the start of the tour. On our way to the battlefields (4 hour drive) your guide will chat to you about the war, the causes and of the effects. Your guide will also chat to you about the Zulu people, their culture and customs. Our first stop is at Isandlwana. Here we'll go into details regarding the events of the day. Guests will get to walk the very field of battle and explore and take photo's. After the tour at Isandlwana, we'll enjoy lunch at one of the lodges or hotels nearby. We'll travel to Rorkes Drift after lunch, where we'll again be led through the events of the day, and will have an opportunity to explore the nearby museum. After the tour, we return to Durban, arriving at approximately 7pm.
