Zulu Battlefields
The Zulu War of 1879 is famous throughout the English-speaking world for the great battles of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift. The lodge is located in a natural heritage site and overlooks both Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift. A stay here is all about being immersed in history and enjoying the stunning setting. Inhouse tours are led by an expert guide and offer thought-provoking insights into the battles between the Zulus and British army.
You'll find a restaurant and bar, a library and two swimming pools amongst other facilities. The hotel offers horse rides through the reserve to view the game and bird life, which is a must for those willing and able (on foor option is also available).
Daily battlefield tours are an essential part of a stay and your expert guide really bring history alive, standing on the very ground where the battles raged.
The rooms all have air conditioning, ceiling fan, Wi-Fi, mini fridge, safe, tea and coffee making facilities along with a balcony or deck.

How our Tent Ratings work
These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.
It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world.
To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
High in both quality and luxury of experience, and property must have ‘wowed’ us on many levels.
This is our benchmark for excellent service and experience, location and /or activities.
Good relative value, excellent location and/or experience, and offering an ideal base for exploring the area.
Budget-focused stopover property, sometimes it’s the ideal location on a driving itinerary.
Don’t be put off, these stays are comfortable and a perfect pit stop on a journey where the choices may be limited.
