Natal Battlefields Travel Guide

'Natal Battlefields South Africa where witness to decisive events in the annals of three nations'

KwaZulu Natal Battlefields (Anglo Boer and Zulu war) of the South African military battles was witness to decisive events in the annals of three imperious, yet vastly disparate nations.Our Kingdom of the Zulu's easily accessible Battlefields exude power and unmistakable presence...infusing the visitor with an inescapable sense of momentous occasion.

It was among the picturesque hills and rock formations of this sweeping landscape that fearless, spear-wielding foot soldiers of the all-conquering Zulu kings first encountered the rampant British Empire's sophisticated fire-power.

Where each faced the unfamiliar guerilla-warfare tactics of the Boer - descendants of the west European settlers who five generations earlier had claimed divine right to this 'Promised Land'. Prophetically, the Zulu also believed the bountiful terrain between fabled Drakensberg Mountains and golden Indian Ocean beaches to be their own 'Heaven on Earth'.

Seventy years of bitter and merciless head-on confrontation proved as pivotal to South Africa's geo-political evolution as the wars that forged modern Europe and established the freedom, identity and boundaries of North America.

One of the two Howitzers that served Ladysmith with distinction during the 118 day siege, stands proudly in front of the Ladysmith Town Hall.
