Welcome to the Wonderful World of the KwaZulu-Natal Battlefields Route
With 82 battlefields, museums, old fortifications and places of remembrance the Route boast the largest concentration of significant Battles and war-related sites than anywhere in South Africa.
For maximum pleasure and understanding visiting the Battlefields should not be done in a haphazard manner, so we will be spending the entire day visiting selected sites.
An afternoon stop at the Zululand Brewery perhaps because you’re already a fan of the Zulu Blonde Beer, which is available in the United Kingdom.
It all began in 1997 when the Chennells family decided to found their own beer company. Based in Eshowe in Zululand the beers went from strength to strength and the Zulu Blonde, which is the flagship of the brand, was launched internationally in 2010.
Enjoy yet another magnificent stay at one of our carefully selected lodges before the morning ride to Clarens.
