FUGITIVES DRIFT
LODGE
FREE BOTTLE OF WINE!
If one tried
to dream up geography and topography for the clash between two
great empires, one could hardly come up with a more fantastic
scene than the famous battlefields of Isandlwana and Rorke’s
Drift.
Fugitives’ Drift is world famous for its
battlefield tours. Accommodation is provided at the Lodge and
at the Guest House.
The Lodge has 8 spacious luxury en-suite rooms. Each has a
private verandah affording views over the plains flanking the
Buffalo River Gorge. A feature of the Lodge is a beautiful,
shady, well established garden, home to innumerable birds. It
has a spectacular swimming pool.
The original
farmhouse is the hub of the Guest House and has been turned into
a charming sitting room/dining room. Here there are 6 large
en-suite bedrooms, all with private verandas. The rooms and
swimming pool have sweeping views of the reserve and surrounding
battlefields.
Superb food
and personal service is a feature of these outstanding
facilities. Indulge in sundowners around the fire and dine in
the splendid atmosphere of a veritable museum of Zulu War
memorabilia.
This
spectacular property is a Natural Heritage Site. Walks and horse
rides through the reserve to view abundant game and birdlife are
offered as well as fishing the 20km frontage of the Buffalo
River.
Fugitives’
Drift is renowned for its battlefield tours to all the Zulu War
and Anglo-Boer War battle sites in the region. Our flagship
tours to Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift are led by registered tour
guides who are superb storytellers, making the history of that
day come alive, and long, family associations with the area and
its people allow us to offer you some unique, Zulu perspectives.
Learn in
gripping detail of the bravery and mobility of the Zulu army
that defeated the British, on the Day of the Dead Moon. Listen
at sunset to the famous story of Rorke’s Drift, where 100
British soldiers were attacked by 4,000 Zulu warriors, winning
more Victoria Crosses than in any other battle in history.
