Fugitive's Drift
Fugitie's Drift, a private game reserve and a Natural Heritage Site, facing the famous battle sites of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.
The bottom part of the Lodge’s garden faces a huge flat land , often full of wildlife, which drops off unexpectedly into the Buffalo River Gorge to the site where Lts. Melville and Coghill were assassinated trying to save the Queen’s Colour of their famous regiment. They earned the first posthumous Victoria Crosses in history and are buried in a beautiful place only a 15 minutes’ walk from both the Lodge and the Guest House.
Fugitieve's Drift is an award winning getaway destination and a great place for people to learn about the history of the battle sites of Isandlwana and Rorker's Drift in KZN. Led by some of the wonderful guides in South Africa, thought-provoking and often emotionally charged tours are conducted daily to the battlefields of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift.

Reviews
Fabulous!
This place really is special, regrettably only had one night, wished had been able to stay longer. Beautiful accommodation and gardens, so much effort has gone into the design. Staff delightful and food high quality. Really enjoyed our 2 battlefield tours but left little time to soak up the ambience at the lodge, a repeat visit is needed
