A place of historical fascination

Some of South Africa's most exciting historical regions lie waiting to be discovered in KwaZulu-Natal, an area better known for its dramatic scenery and quaint towns. This region holds the largest concentration of Anglo-Zulu battlefields in South Africa, and every town, field and hill has a fascinating story to tell. See where the army of the famous British Empire was defeated on several occasions, first by the proud Zulus and later by the impervious Boer armies. Walking the mist-covered plains where thousands of British, Afrikaner and Zulu soldiers lost their lives is a deeply moving experience.
