ISIBINDI BATTLEFIELD LODGE
Rorke's Drift, KwaZulu-Natal |
| Situated amidst the world-renowned Zululand
battlefields, Isibindi Lodge is a monument to the Zulu
culture and the heroic battles fought between imperial
British troops and Zulu warriors in the area. The lodge’s
resident historian leads daily tours to Isandlwana and
Rorke’s Drift, battle sites, which featured prominently
during the Anglo-Zulu wars towards the end of the nineteenth
century. Evening meals at the lodge are punctuated with the
intrigue of the battlefields, the terror and heroism that
has made these sites an international attraction. |
| Close to the lodge a traditional Zulu village provides
an insight into the lifestyles and culture of the Zulu
people. Cultural evenings blend Zulu dancing with
traditional meals. Guests are encouraged to mingle with the
dancers after dinner to learn a few dance steps. |
| Open landrover and walking safaris in the Isibindi
Reserve provide access to diverse habitats including montane
grasslands and riverine forests, with an astounding array of
wildlife. White water rafting is also possible during the
summer months on the Buffalo River. |
| The lodge accommodates twelve guests in traditional Zulu
beehive chalets, which are perched on the edge of a hill
offering panoramic views of the game reserve. |
