Experience Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift
Guests can choose whether to do the tour of Rorke's Drift on the afternoon of arrival or the following afternoon. The tours can be split between Isandlwana the morning after arrival and Rorke's Drift on your second afternoon, thereby having the time to do other activities.
It is quite safe to walk on the property; professional guides are available to accompany those wishing to walk longer distances. The most popular walk is to the great ledge overlooking several hundred square miles of unspoilt Zululand. There is no charge for this walk.
Fishing, horse riding and the hike from Isandlwana to the Buffalo River (the Fugitives' Trail) are also available.
Attentive, well-informed staff are on hand to ensure that visitors leave with a thorough understanding of this region, its people and their history.
For the tours, you will need comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunblock, binoculars, sunglasses and a light jersey/jacket for the summer and in winter a warm jacket/fleece. A light rainproof jacket can come in very handy.
Accommodation is offered at the Fugitives’ Drift Lodge situated on the location of the original Rattray homestead as well as the Fugitives Drift Guest House that was home to Johan Potgieter and his family one of the greatest storytellers of the area.
