Battlefields Accommodation |


| The Battlefields region will transport you back to times of the British Empire. KwaZulu Natal is a beautiful territory which was much fought over amongst the Nguni clans which saw the forging of the Zulu nation by King Shaka Zulu. Then followed the clash between Boer pioneers and the Zulu, culminating in the battle of Blood River. Later Brit and Zulu clashed, with battles such as Isandlwana, Rorke's drift, Kambula, Eshowe and finally Ulundi, which saw the end of a mighty power in Africa-the Zulu regimental system. Peace was not to last long, as the clash between the British empire and the Boer Republics made Northern Natal the front line. Visit Spioenkop, Ladysmith and Talana museum at Dundee.
