Situated in the middle of the KwaZulu-Natal Battlefields, Isandlwana Lodge is built high up on the Nyoni Rocks on which the Zulu commanders stood to direct the Battle of Isandlwana. This magnificent location overlooks the enigmatic Isandlwana Mountain and historic battle site below, where the British Army faced one of its worst defeats on the morning of 22 January 1879.
The Lodge is built of thatch and stone with huge wooden columns supporting floor-to-ceiling glass windows, affording marvellous views in all directions. It is decorated with a combination of traditional and modern styles and each bedroom has a private balcony with spectacular views. Dinner is served in the candle-lit dining room which features chairs covered in iNguni cow-hide – the royal cattle of the Zulus.
Meet Rob Gerrard, resident historian at Isandlwana Lodge, who will intrigue you with his talks on the Anglo-Zulu War Battles of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift and the Anglo-Boer Battles at Talana and Elandslaagte.
