Fugitives Drift Review

David Rattray is synonymous with Fugitives Drift. His love and hard work put this obscure corner of Zululand on the world map.

Initially, he pioneered the new tourism sector of historical tours in South Africa and then by attracting the great and good of this world including several members of the British Royal Family to this area who consequently were important in financing the influential David Rattray Foundation.

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.
