Battlefield Tours from Durban in 2025

I find it really wonderful that even today, visitors from around the world are still fascinated by the events that occurred during the 1879 Anglo Zulu War and to this day, continue to visit the sites of Rorkes Drift, iSandlwana and Spionkop, among others. To make things easier, I decided to update all our Battlefield Tours from Durban in 2025.

Tours Options to the Battlefields of KwaZulu Natal.

Without doubt, the most popular tour to Rorkes Drift and iSandlwana is the full day tour from Durban. Now this is a long day, roughly 12 hours; 4 hours to the sites, 4 hours back and 4 hours on site. And for those with limited time, it’s the perfect option.

But if you have a bit more time on hand, or want to delve deeper into the events that took place at any of the battlefields sites, then you’ll be interested in the other options I have.
