Zulu Battlefields We are pleased to announce that we have added the Zulu Battlefields of South Africa to our list of battlefield destinations.
Your trip to Rorke's Drift and Isandlwana will be part of a longer holiday to South Africa which we will be happy to help you plan. Due to its location and duration of the battlefield lectures, we advise that you plan to spend at least 2 nights in the area or you could stay a bit longer and sample the atmosphere in the heart of Zululand or take part in additional tours and activities
Organised Tours We are currently able to offer organised tours to various sites in Europe. The coach tours depart at regular intervals throughout the year and regional pick ups are available. More details can be found in the various sections below. If there is somewhere you would like to visit that isn't list, please give us a call and we'll do our best to help. Click here for our contact details.
You can book your Battlefield tour online (not Zulu Battlefields) with the tour operator or by contacting us direct by phone or email. Either way, the price is the same.
Battlefield Destination Videos We are in the process of putting together a library of short videos about some of our battlefield destinations. Please follow the links below:
A Warning The following text has been copied from the excellent Battlefield Guides produce by Major & Mrs Holt. They have produced a number of excellent guides for a number of European Battlefields as well as accompanying maps which can be found at our Amazon shop.
"It is most unwise to pick up any 'souvenirs' in the form of bullets, shells, barbed wire etc that may be found. To this day, farmers in the Ypres Salient and other areas, when ploughing fields turn up the sad remains of World War I soldiers, or bits of ammunition and equipment which they then pile up at the edge of the field, often under signposts or markers to be collected by army explosives experts. A few years ago, gas shells started to smoke alarmingly in Hooge Crater CWGC Cemetery, for example, and had to be safely removed. These remains of the war are called 'The Iron Harvest' and are extremely dangerous to handle. Explosions often occur with this volatile material, resulting in death or maiming. Cuts could cause tetanus or blood poisoning. Therefore, active searching for 'souvenirs' should be discouraged. It also seems more fitting to let such items find their way to local museums where they can be seen by generations of future visitors and where safe souvenirs can be bought."
