Is the Fugitives' Drift Lodge for Me?

The spectacular Fugitives’ Drift property, a Natural Heritage Site, overlooks both Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift, and includes the site where Lts. Melvill and Coghill lost their lives attempting to save the Queen’s Colour of the 1/24th.

Led by the finest guides in South Africa, thought-provoking and often emotionally charged tours are conducted daily to Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift. You can also go on nature walks- either guided or unguided- to see the abundant wildlife and birdlife on the reserve.

The lodge is the most luxurious accommodation offered at Fugitives’ Drift, and was fully renovated in 2017. Spacious and luxurious en-suite rooms have private verandahs, air-conditioning, and both inside and outside showers. The lodge has a swimming pool, library, and excellent museum.

The Guest House has en suite rooms with air conditioning plus a swimming pool in the garden.

Finally, Umzinyathi Farmhouse is a self-catering option; it has three en suite rooms, sitting and dining rooms, and a kitchen.
