Rorke's Drift Natal
Few battles in military history exemplify courage and resilience, like the Battle of Rorke's Drift during the Anglo-Zulu War. This blog takes you back to Natal in 1879, where a small British garrison held off the powerful Zulu warriors in one of history's most legendary defences.
Delving into this remarkable story, we uncover both the heroism and the complexity of colonial conflicts. The Battle of Rorke's Drift stands as a testament to human bravery under fire but also highlights questions about imperialism, conflict, and legacy that resonate to this day.
uShaka Marine World Durban
Some of the most beautiful game reserves in South Africa are located in Kwazulu Natal, within a few hours' drive of the airport.
Coupled with the Drakensberg Mountain range and the tropical Indian Ocean coast, you have a pretty impressive list of sights to see and experience.
When it comes to Durban however, people have mostly avoided the city as of no particular interest for the family. Think again.
Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift Battlefields
There are few other places on earth where you can visit a battlefield area and see exactly what the soldiers of 130 years ago observed.
The now-famous battles of Rorke’s Drift and Isandlwana Battlefields are two of those places and the fact that they are located in the vast and unspoilt beauty of Zululand adds to their allure.
