Anyone ever take a tour of Isandlwanda and Rorke's Drift? Any suggestions?

I'm planning a 2015 trip and my father, who accompanied me on my trip this past July in the Limpopo area, would like to join me again but do some sightseeing too, likely before the hunt. We're both retired military and I think battlefield staff tours would suit us.

I just returned the first week of December from doing just that. There was a discussion recently on the subject. You can check it out at:

I used Penny Farthing bed and breakfast. Very nice accommodations on Farm converted to B&B.
The owner, Foy, grew up there and his family had farms all over the area. He is a great tour guide and host. We toured Blood River, Talana Hill, Rorke's Drift and Isandhlwana.

If you enjoy Zulu and British history it is well worth it. Watch Zulu Dawn before. The Rattray farm is nearby and that where prince Charles and sons stayed. Sadly he was murdered but his set of DVD commentary is great to listen to. The Rourkes drift museum is quite a treasure. The battle sight is only one of three where markers mark where the soldiers fell. The other is Custers last stand and Scotland.

I really wish I had taken an extra day to do this with you when I was hunting with you Charl. Next time!

Hey Crowkiller Matt! Next time my friend, next time. Good show on the hoggs. Saw that on FB!

Badger Matt, Crow killer Matt is a good friend that hunted with me some years back. Just wanted to clear that up and not create confusion with all ye Matties about. Looking forward to seeing you on Sat.

If you need an absolute expert contact Bob Wood. He is one of only 4 guides in the country registered to conduct tours on ALL 118 battlefield sites African Battlefields

Every time he starts talking about a any battle I just shut up and listen.
