Battlefield Tours

The history of South Africa has been forged by many conflicts - particularly those between three great nations - the Zulus, the Afrikaner (Boer) settlers & the once mighty British Empire.

Our Zulu Battlefield Tours to Rorkes Drift and Isandlwana in South Africa are conducted by knowledgeable battlefield guides, who bring the events leading up to this famous battle on 22 January 1879 to life, with heroic stories from both sides. 11 Victoria Crosses were awarded that day – so be sure to watch Michael Cain in the film 'Zulu' before you leave home. More obscure Zulu battlefields, such as those at Ulundi, can also be visited.

We also offer tours to the key battlefields of the South African War (1899 -1902) - also known as the Anglo Boer War - including Spion Kop, Ladysmith, Colenso, Kimberley and Mafikeng. Tours of the Frontier Wars (Xhosa) battlefields in the Eastern Cape are also available on request.

For expert advice on Zulu Battlefield tours to Rorkes Drift & Isandlwana in South Africa & Boer War battlefields including Spion Kop, contact us on 01582 766122 today. We can tailor made a holiday to your exact requirements.

Selling Zulu & Boer War battlefield tours for over 15 years.

ALL OUR ZULU BATTLEFIELD TOURS TO RORKES DRIFT & ISANDLWANA SOUTH AFRICA & BOER WAR INCLUDING SPION KOP are financially protected, wherever in the world you live.
