What to do and see in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: The Best Battlefields
KwaZulu-Natal (/kwɑːˌzuːluː nəˈtɑːl/; also referred to as KZN and known as "the garden province") is a province of South Africa that was created in 1994 when the Zulu bantustan of KwaZulu ("Place of the Zulu" in Zulu) and Natal Province were merged. It is located in the southeast of the country, enjoying a long shoreline beside the Indian Ocean and sharing borders with three other provinces and the countries of Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho. Its capital is Pietermaritzburg and its largest city is Durban. It is the 2nd most populous province in South Africa, with slightly fewer residents than Gauteng.

We had an excellent local guide who spent an hour giving us a very detailed history of the site. Very moving, and in a really beautiful spot. It is very open so take water, sun cream and a hat.
2. Khambula Battlefield

Reviewed By tofrek1885 - Shrewsbury, United Kingdom
Remote and little visited, Khambula offers a view of a major Zulu battlefield that has altered very little, with the exception of small areas of forestry planting which in fact do not spoil the view or sense of place. The high point of the site (the British redoubt area) offers sweeping views over all the surrounding fields and an enables an easy appreciaiton of the way the battle played out, with successive attacks from different approaches being fought off. I found it a very evocatvie and fasciniating place.
3. Spion Kop Battlefield

Raymond Heron from the Spionkop Lodge was an outstanding guide. He shared detailed stories of the battle of Spionkop. I would highly recommend this as part of trip to South Africa, particularly if you are interested in South African History or as a soccer fan who wants to experience the origins of the Spion Kop and its significance in soccer history.
