What Guests Have Said About This Tour
An absolutely wonderful day out with Shelldon at Isandwala and Rorkes Drift. We were hesitant at first thinking we could save some money and do it on out own ! We are so so glad we didn’t, Shelldons knowledge on the two sites is absolutley unmatched , we had stories from start to finish on the road and we certainly wouldn’t have known all the amazing spots we were driving past had we done it ourselves.
Chonelle – TripAdvisor
First, the trip itself – wow! Shelldon’s knowledge of the timeline and events surrounding the battles is encyclopaedic and he absolutely brings it to life by stopping at key points and describing the battle plan, as well as the heat and deprivations and the vast distances covered. The sites are beautifully kept and quite moving, with wonderful little museums and even a tiny cafe.
