Attractions and Activities at Fugitives Drift Lodge

 

Fugitives’ Drift is renowned for its battlefield tours to all the Zulu War and Anglo-Boer War battle sites in the region. Flagship tours to Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift are led by registered tour guides who are superb storytellers, making the history of that day come alive, and long, family associations with the area and its people allow us to offer you some unique, Zulu perspectives.
Other tours available at Fugitives Drift:


MANGENI FALLS
The waterfall where Lord Chelmsford was at the time of the battle of Isandlwana and the valley where the Zulus were hiding. 


MASONDO
The crack in the Buffalo River where the Zulus crossed the river on their way to Rorke’s Drift. One could do this tour either on horseback or being driven by Land Rover to this site. 


WALKS, FISHING AND HORSE RIDING
It is quite safe to walk on the property; Zulu guides are available to accompany those wishing to walk longer distances. The most popular walk is to the great ledge overlooking several hundred square miles of unspoilt Zululand. There is no charge for this walk. Fishing, horse riding and the hike from Isandlwana to the Buffalo River (the Fugitives’ Trail) are also available.
