KwaZulu Natal Battlefields

View all Battlefields Accommodation

Some of the most important battles in South African history were fought on KwaZulu Natal's battlefields: Zulu vs Boer, Zulu vs British and Boer vs British.

Explore the original site of the heroic defence at Rorke's Drift where an unprecendented 11 Victoria Crosses were awarded; marvel at the raw, haunting beauty of Isandlwana where history is perhaps not quite dead, or learn about the battle of Blood River - when the Ncome river ran red with the blood of the Zulus.

History guides tell these incredible tales of courage, victory, defeat and reconciliation. As you're swept back in time, all it requires is a little imagination for the surrounding plains and rocky outcrops to come to life with the spine-chilling sights and sounds of some of the bloodiest battles in history.

"I had the feeling that something more than what we could physically see was at play at Isandlwana: the unnerving sensation of being watched, of the presence of something else was, for me, overpowering..." - Dominic Chadbon, 'Laying History to Rest', April, 2008.

KwaZulu Natal's battlefields region is an area rich in historical memorabilia, museums and artefacts, which will give you fascinating insight into South Africa's past.
