Isibindi Lodge
'Zulu Battlefield Tour, we believe that it is now time that they tell their story'

 |
| At iSibindi lodge, you are offered the rare opportunity of learning about the Zulu culture which remains largely unchanged. It has been a courageous struggle for the Zulu people to hold onto their culture, their beliefs and their dignity. It is now time that they tell their story; let them explain why they were once the most powerful army on the African continent. All rooms at Isibindi Lodge are en-suite with separate bath and spacious shower. |

| iSibindi lodge is architecturally inspired by the traditional Zulu beehive shape, the beehive suites offer panoramic views of the game reserve and its diverse habitats ranging from montane grassland to riverine forests. Each Beehive suite has its own viewing deck overlooking the game reserve and the surrounding hills like Rorke's Drift. iSibindi lodge set amongst huge Buffalo Thorn Trees and dolerite boulders boasts a homely lounge with a large fireplace, a library, a unique bar carved out of a Wait-a-Bit Thorn Tree, a swimming pool with a view and spacious verandah. The privately set swimming pool has breathtaking views over the game reserve. Guests gather around the bar in the evenings to recall the days safari on the Anglo-Zulu Battlefields or a game walk on the game reserve. Isibindi Lodge takes pride in its cuisine and has developed a reputation for its unique presentation of South African Fair. Breakfasts and lunches are either served al fresco at the swimming pool or on the verandah. Battlefield tours: The battlefield tour starts at approximately 8h30 when guests head for Isandlwana, where the greatest defeat in British colonial history took place. Our resident historian, Prince Sibusiso, who has degrees in SA history and is fluent in English, Zulu and French, describes the dramatic events of the day. At approximately 12h00 guests travel to Rorke's Drift where a picnic lunch is enjoyed. Zulu Cultural Evenings: Starts at approximately 16h30 when guests walk down to the uMuzi (traditional village) situated some 500m from the lodge. A short tour of the village accustoms guest to the layout and traditional aspects of a homestead. This is followed by traditional dancing, throughout which the different dances and their symbolism is explained by Zulu historian Prince Sibusiso. At approximately 18h30 guests will be invited into one of the beehives to enjoy a meal of traditional foods and drinks. At approximately 19h30 guests return to the lodge for tea and cake. |
