Zulu wars, Shaka, Isandlwana, Rorkes Drift, Colenso, Spioenkop, Ladysmith, Dundee, Churchill, Blood River, Cetshwayo, Boers ... are some of the terms which are associated with this internationally renowned area of South Africa.

The legacy of the Zulu Kingdom's critical, blood-soaked conflicts today lives peacefully-reconciled in this fascinating region's myriad Battlefield Sites, Historic Towns, National Monuments and Museums - and in HQs of the British regiments that make 'pilgrimage' to these fields of bravery and supreme sacrifice.

While knowledgeable, friendly and accredited local guides guarantee hour upon hour of captivating company, it is possible to 'escape' the clutches of history - hunting, fishing, game drives and the entire gamut of adventure sports are but a handful of the exciting 'diversions' equally guaranteed to catapult you back into the 'here and now'.

Every town, historic building, battle sight and memorial in the Battlefields region of KwaZulu-Natal, has a fascinating tale to tell, an event to commemorate, a poignant memory to recall.

But don't let the description mislead you into thinking that you are going to spend your time in the past. The region has the climate, scenery, wildlife, cultural diversity, cuisine and hospitality to make your visit unique and memorable.

Treat your Battlefields Getaway as a self-drive adventure. Armed with informative maps and brochures obtainable from Tourism Associations in the region, you are free to embark on a personal exploration. You could also use the service of a specialist guide, who will bring an exciting new dimension to your journey through this fascinating province.
