The resort was a dream location, well kept and maintained. all the staff were excellent and professional in their attention to our needs during our stay. I cannot fault them at all. Their guides are excellent and very knowledgable fo the battlefield sites and the history of the Zulu war. I would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to visit the area 100%. Special thank to Bryan who led our battlefield tours to Rourke’s drift and Isandlwana, he is very very capable and a great tour host.

Wonderful stay here while visiting the Zulu war sites in the area with Doug and his colleagues. This is a beautiful, modern property which is truly luxurious. I stayed in a huge lodge room with an incredible view from the balcony over the local area. An even better view comes from the library which looks down onto the Buffalo river and across towards fugitive's trail. There is also a small museum on site with a lot of information. Meals are served in the dining area, lounge or veranda depending on weather. All were fantastic and plentiful, there always seemed to be an excuse to serve food at any time during the day! There is also a well stocked bar. The tours I had with Doug, Bryan and Mphiwa were beyond my expectations. All have incredibly knowledge of the history, with the added bonus that Mphiwa's grandfather fought at Isandlwana and can bring personal Zulu perspective to the battle from the oral history passed down. On the way to and from the tours you can hear David Rattray describe the events leading up to the events you are about to relive. This really helps to set the scene for the day. All the staff were friendly, helpful and engaging; cleaning and groundskeeping was happening all day and the room and communal areas were spotless. Nature surrounds you and you will regularly see giraffe, zebra and various deer type (sorry!) animals on the way into and out of the site. This was a lovely, relaxing, interesting and pampered stay, my thanks to all the staff.

Wir hatten einen fantastischen Aufenthalt in der Lodge. Der Austausch mit den Gastgebern wie auch den anderen Gästen beim Dinner war sehr angenehm. Das Essen war überragend gut. Die Lodge ist noch schöner als auf den Bildern und man kümmert sich wirklich gut um die Gäste. Neben den angebotenen Touren kann man auch Wanderungen auf dem (großen) Lodgegelände machen mit wunderschönen Ausblicken. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt spontan verlängert und möchten sehr gerne wiederkommen!

Great staff and tour experience - number one place to experience the battles of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift between the Zulu and British. You will come away with a true South African historic experience and a taste of wildlife. We suggest the 10km hike from Isandlwana to Fugitive's Drift Lodge - be prepared for a short swim across the historic Buffalo River - confidence in the water is a must - truly worthwhile.
