Fugitives' Drift, Natal, South Africa

The Anglo Zulu War of 1879 is famous for the great battles of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift.

Survivors from Isandlwana crossed the Buffalo River at a place forever after named "The Fugitives' Drift" and this spectacular property, a Natural Heritage Site, overlooking the "sphinx" of Isandlwana and the Oskarberg at Rorke's Drift, includes the site where Lieutenant Melvill and Lieutenant Coghill lost their lives saving the Queen's Colour of the 24th Regiment.

The Rattray family, the owners, are pioneers of Heritage Tourism in South Africa, and have created an award winning lodge for visitors to savour this extraordinary saga, with accommodation offered at Fugitives’ Drift Lodge itself and their beautiful Guest House several hundred yards away.
