Battlefields History Trip

Join us in August as we head out for a History Trip. The trip will be led by a registered Battlefields Region Guide who will take us into the heart of history and is centered around the Anglo Zulu Wars.

Dates: Friday 7th - Monday 10th August 2015 (Monday is a Public Holiday)
Place: Dundee and surrounds
Accomodation: Kwa Rie (Dundee)

The idea behind this trip is head up to Kwa Rie in Dundee on Thursday the 6th in convoy. Come Friday and Saturday our guide will travel with us in the lead vehicle. Sunday we break camp and make our way home. Kwa Rie will be the location where will stay during this trip.

The following is a proposed itinerary:

Sat 8th: one day visit to Hlobane and Kambula battlefields .   There is an element of fairly tough cross country work to reach Hlobane top, short but interesting nevertheless.
Sun 9th: one day trip, mainly on gravel roads, with a short trip on a track, through the remarkable scenery in our area, seen by only a few locals.   Lunch  time stop at Msinga top, for the view of the confluence of the Tugela and Buffalo Rivers, an awesome place.
