It begins at the remains of the Ultimatum Tree, on the Thukela river, where British representatives confronted King Cetshwayo's envoys on the eve of war. Overnight we offer you the extraordinary Zulu cultural experience at the Simunye pioneer settlement, which is without doubt one of the best and most authentic events of its type. The following day we visit King Cetshwayo's partially reconstructed royal homestead at oNdini, the Zulu Cultural Museum, and the site of the final battle of Ulundi. Our third tour explores the dramatic battles on the northern frontier of Zululand, the sites of the two Zulu victories at Ntombe River and Hlobane mountain, and the battlefield of Khambula, site of one of the most hard-fought battles of the war, a British victory which finally turned the tide of war against the Zulu kingdom. The price of each tour is R800 per person, on a dinner, bed, breakfast and picnic lunch basis.
Accommodation is in local hotels and lodges.
