The KwaZulu-Natal Battlefields area bears testament to the ferocious wars between the British, Boers and mighty Zulu nation that took place here over 110 years ago. Visit the sites and hear the chilling stories of some of the world’s bloodiest battles, including the Battles of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift.
Two of the most famous and pivotal Anglo-Zulu battles took place at Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift and a visit to these sites should be a priority. Apart from this history, the Battlefields also offer a number of other activities, including white-water rafting down the formidable Thukela River rapids and sailing at the Chelmsford Dam. There are also a number of Zulu cultural villages in the area which display authentic Zulu traditions and serve traditional food.
