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 definitely one the best experiences I've had in my 2.5 months in South Africa. The views were absolutely spectacular and my guide and driver Wonder, was exceptional.

The tour was very...

The tour was very comprehensive, not exactly what we thought we would be doing, but it was okay. There was a mixup at the beginning with others booked for a tour, but it was resolved, accommodations were made and we and another couple headed off in a separate vehicle. We had a nice day touring the area and seeing the important sights in Durban.
