TOUR ITINERARY
Day 1: Isandlwana & Fugitive′s Drift
Make an early start from Durban and head inland towards South Africa′s famous battlegrounds, where more battles were fought in this remote area of KwaZulu-Natal than anywhere else in South Africa. Then on to Fugitive′s Drift, where many of the 402 soldiers who fled from the Battle managed to escape from Zululand into Colonial Natal.
Accommodation: Rorkes Drift Lodge or similar
Day 2: Spioenkop
After a hearty traditional South African breakfast we make our way to the summit of Spioenkop Mountain. From here your guide will recreate the tragic battle between Boer and Brit which unfolded over 9 days in January 1900. We then continue a little further to visit the site of the armoured train incident, made famous due to the fact that Churchill (at that stage a correspondent with the Morning Post) was among those captured. After lunch, we take our leave of bloody battlefields and head for Durban, arriving in the late afternoon.
Accommodation: Coastlands Hotel or similar
Day 3: Durban′s shopping experience
After breakfast, we visit the coffee and the banana farm before returning to Durban for entertainment and greatest shopping experience.
Accommodation: Riverside Hotel or similar
