Once in a lifetime
A brilliant insight into a part of British history. Our tour guide had knowledge and background details that were fascinating about both of these famous and infamous battles. Amazing stories of heroism and giving an insight into Colonial mentality and also the Zulu world. I would encourage anyone interested in history to take this tour. It might be a long drive there and back but not to go then you would live with regret.

This was a 70th Birthday present holiday for my husband and this tour was the highlight of the holiday. What a thought provoking and poignant visit. You felt like you were walking on sacred ground. Our guide Zamani Shelembe a Zulu himself, gave us a warmth and depth knowledge of these incredible battles and we felt privileged to have such a friendly guide helping us to enjoy this tour to the best experience. Would definitely recommend both Zamani and this tour operator.

Fascinating Anglo-Zulu War battlefields tour
Long journey from Durban (about 4 hours) on some very rough and uneven roads but if military history, beautiful scenery and some wild animals are your thing then this tour is perfect!

An amazing experience...
An amazing experience with a fabulous guide. Sheldon had a wealth of knowledge and was always happy to answer any questions we had to ask.we were lucky enough to have him all to ourselves on this particular trip. You could tell that he truly loved his job through the enthusiasm that he showed us. A long day , but we always knew that, so prepared ourselves for it

Enjoyable day and great value!
A long day but hugely worthwhile! Sheldon was an informed and informative guide and blended humour with detail and background to the sites and their history. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Historical must see
If you are into British historical events then this is a must see place. Our guide/driver was well informed and provided heaps of information including listening to a audiobook of the events pre/post the battles and the battles themselves. The trip out from Durbin took four hours there and fours back on poor sealed and unsealed roads although the scenery was quite picturesque. Bringing a packed lunch and drinks is essential.

Excellent day. Extremely informative and knowledgeable guide. Even though long drive to destination, time passed quickly. Highly recommended if you are interested in African history.

A great day with greater good Fortune!
I had an amazing day travelling from Durban to the Zulu battlefields. The tour driver and director was called Fortune, a very knowledgeable and patient person. He made my day amazing by his insight, understanding and perfect customer service delivery and his company should mark this man out as the best tourist ambassador they have. Thanks for the memories Fortune and good luck my friend.

Fantastic - do not miss it
Probably one of the best things I have ever done! From start to finish - Sheldon made us feel at ease and was a fountain of knowledge. Felt incredibly safe at all times! I felt sorry for him having to answer my partners 3000 questions! Bonus of seeing some wild Zebra!
Absolute gentleman and the toastie in the cafe was excellent! I’ll be booking with him on my return to South Africa 100%!

Once in a lifetime trip.
Expensive. I paid 250 euro. But the best way for me to get in and out of the area. Roads are very poor for the last 40km of the journey in. Driver/guide was very good. The digital narration works.

Isandlwana is a must for history buffs and a great choice for anyone who enjoyed the Zulu or Zulu Dawn films.
A fee is payable to access both the battlefield and the small on-site museum.
Isandlwana and all of the KwaZulu Natal’s Battlefield Route is a challenging destination for travelers who rely on wheelchairs.
