Fugitives’ Drift is renowned for delivering awe-inspiring battlefield tours that bring the battles of Rorke’s Drift and Isandlwana to life. This experience gives a deep and tangible insight into some of the most moving of South Africa’s battlefields.
Fugitives’ Drift is expanding on these experiences with the addition of dedicated tours for children under 12 years of age.
While our world-renowned tours set off with the parents, shorter, more interactive tours on the property, led by a guide, will engage and inspire their children with stories of the bravery and courage of the British soldiers and Zulu warriors. These tours will be followed by a game walk and a more cultural encounter:
- See giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, kudu, nyala and other non-threatening game in our 5000-acre private reserve.
- Hold a Martini-Henry rifle, as used by the British at Rorke’s Drift and a variety of contemporary Zulu assegais.
- Discover the traditional medicinal uses of the flora and fauna of the region – how do the Zulus brush their teeth?
- A visit to the nearby Zulu cultural village for a tangible experience of the Zulu’s way of life, could be an optional extra.
Followed by an early, specially prepared dinner, hot chocolate and a baby-sitter on call, the Fugitives’ Drift experience can now be enjoyed by parents and children alike.
As part of this specially designed children’s tour, one child under 12 from a family will stay for free, sharing with parents and each child will receive a small Zulu shield as a memento.
The rate for a Battlefield Kids tour will be:
R400 per day per child.
This rate excludes accommodation.
Valid throughout 2012.
