Fugitives Drift Lodge

An Amazing experience staying at Fugitives Drift! The Guides are extremely knowledgeable and have a passion for what they do. Our tours to the Isandwlana and Rorkes Drift Battlefields were both extremely insightful. The guides take you back in time, making you feel like you're experiencing History as it happened. Would highly recommend to any history buff! The service at Fugitives Drift was also extremely good. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the food was exceptional!

Fugitives Drift creates a unique environment - you feel at home the moment you arrive and getting to meet and socialise with other guests was the cherry on top of an excellent stay. Gorgeous, spotless rooms and excellent tours that take you back in time.

Outstanding hospitality, food quality and comfort . Top class .

Fantastic setting. We stayed in the main lodge - enormous room/bathroom - beautiful views. You eat dinner altogether with the other guests, which is great cos you are all there for the same experience - food is fab too. All the staff are great and they really helped us out as we were running late!! The tours of Rorkes Drift and Isandlwana are a must - thank you so much for the detailed explanations - really moving talks. Make sure you have a good 4x4 or SUV for travelling around

I always wanted to go to see Rourke's Drift and my wife though not so keen as me was interested to see it after seeing the film for the first time. The Lodge an absolute gem, we could not have asked for more, the welcoming staff, awesome service, incredible food were all superb. The lodge accomodation was luxurious and immaculate. We can thorougly recommned it.

After over 4 hours transfer from Durban airport we arrived to the warmest of welcomes by the owners and their team. A quick but tasty lunch and we were off on the 1st of our battlefield tours, Rourke's Drift. The narration was detailed and passionate, painting the scene as faithfully as if you had been there. On our return to the lodge we were shown to our lodge, luggage already installed, where we marvelled at the view. Beautifully appointed, our lodge boasted 2 huge showers and a bath with a view! Pre dinner drinks and canapes served around the bouma allowed for pleasantries with fellow guests before dinner. Dinner is a set menu, plentiful and tasty. Day 2 started early with breakfast before heading out for our 2nd tour. It's hard to say we enjoyed the tour which centres on huge loss of life on both sides but the narrative is informative and respectful of the subject. Another delicious lunch, afternoon tea and dinner followed. Two nights does not do justice to this amazing oasis of peace. Special thanks to Grace for your joyful appreciation of life!
