Why we love it
The epic of Isandlwana was a battle which shook imperial Britain to its core and questioned the illusion of European superiority.
The battle of Rorke’s Drift is one of the most famous battles in the English-speaking world and was later the subject of the 1964 Hollywood blockbuster, Zulu.
The graves walk takes approximately one hour and includes 3km of stunning views across the Buffalo River and, often, encounters with wildlife.
The reserve is home to an abundance of indigenous flora and fauna species. Discover the many trails at your leisure, with or without a guide.
Spend a morning in spectacular and tranquil surroundings, fishing for Natal Yellow Fish.
This is where a battle was fought between the Boers and the Zulus on the 16th December, 1838. 64 life-sized solid bronze wagons now sit on the site of the battle and are quite remarkable.

Absolutely amazing holiday. Garonga is heaven! We did everything possible and our guide was brilliant and hilarious. I can definitely recommend True Travel for their excellent advice and professionalism – they clearly are very knowledgeable about where they send their clients and made sure we had a worry-free holiday that perfectly suited us. We were particular grateful for the collection off our flight and help onto our transfer in Johannesburg, which included a very nifty queue jump due to their reputation!
