The Zulu War of 1879 is famous throughout the English-speaking world for the great battles of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift. The spectacular Fugitives’ Drift property, a 5000 acre Natural Heritage Site, overlooks both Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift, and includes the site where Lieutenants Melvill and Coghill lost their lives attempting to save the Queen’s Colour of their regiment. If one tried to dream up geography and topography for the clash between two great nations, one could hardly come up with a more fantastic scene than this one. |

It was here that David and Nicky Rattray pioneered Heritage Tourism in South Africa and created an award winning lodge for visitors to savour this extraordinary saga.
Led by the finest guides in South Africa, thought-provoking and often emotionally charged tours are conducted daily to Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift. Walks and horserides through the reserve to view abundant game and birdlife are offered as well as fishing the 20km frontage on the Buffalo River.
The reserve offers a choice of accommodation in either the Lodge or the Guest House, both owned by the Rattrays and both born out of their extensive experience in the hospitality industry. Evident in every corner of Fugitives’ Drift is the Rattrays’ love of South Africa, its people and its unique history.
Both the Lodge and Guest House have spacious and luxurious en-suite cottages which all have private verandahs and broad views over the plains flanking the Buffalo River Gorge. The Lodge and Guest House both have swimming pools set in their colourful, well established gardens which are home to innumerable bird species.
Accommodation
Annex/Cottage
The Lodge is also home to our newly renovated Annex, or Cottage; ideal
for small families or couples travelling together. The Cottage has been
redesigned to have two twin en-suite bedrooms and a sitting room. One
bathroom has a shower and bath, the other is a small shower room.
Guest House Rooms
The house has been turned into the most charming sitting and dining room,
filled with fascinating memorabilia. It also has an outside eating area
which has a stunning view across a plain with Isandlwana in the distance.
Rooms have large, en-suite twin bedrooms that are individually decorated,
featuring private verandas with sweeping views of the reserve and surrounding
battlefields. The Guest House boasts a sparkling pool that overlooks Isandlwana
and the indigenous bushveld.
Lodge Cottages
The lodge offers spacious, luxury en-suite cottages, each with a private
veranda affording views over the plains flanking the Buffalo River Gorge.
Cottages feature twin beds and bathrooms have baths and showers.
