Rorke’s Drift & Isandlwana Tours

Tours are led by registered tour guides who are superb storytellers and make the history of that day come alive.
Learn of the bravery and mobility of the Zulu army that defeated the British Army at the Battle of Isandlwana and listen at sunset to the famous story of Rorke’s Drift, where 139 British soldiers were attacked by 4000 Zulu warriors; a British victory which saw the award of more Victoria Crosses than in any other battle in history.
