Rorke's Drift

Rorke's Drift

We depart from Durban at 6 am and travel to the Battlefields area where the 2 battles took place between the Zulus and the British.
Our first stop is at Rorke's Drift where we visit the graves and monuments and the exact spots where the battle took place.
A local guide will give a full naration of exactly what it is that transpired during that battle.

The Battle of Rorke’s Drift, fought immediately after the Battle of Isandlwana, is famous throughout the English-speaking world. Here, at a small mission station, 139 British soldiers were attacked by 4000 Zulu warriors. The result was a British victory which saw the award of more Victoria Crosses than in any other battle in history. The story of Rorke’s Drift is an incredibly tragic story; one of human courage and sacrifice. The unspeakable suffering endured by the warriors and soldiers on such a tiny area is confounding.

Isandlwana Battlefield

, , Isandlwana

From Rorke's Drift we proceed to Isandlwana Battlefield. Again here we visit the museum, the graves, the actual place where the battle took place. The local guide give a fully detailed naration of the events of the famous battle.
The Battle of Isandlwana, during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, has been the subject of conjecture and controversy for 140 years. It is arguably the greatest defeat that the British Empire was ever to suffer in her entire colonial history; in two short hours a modern British army was destroyed.
