- Rorke’s Drift - We depart Durban at 6 am and travel north for 3 hours to Rorke’s Drift. On arrival in Rorke’s Drift, where the Battle of Rorke’s Drift took place on 22nd January 1879, a local guide takes over, explaining the whole history around this famous battle.
The Battle of Rorke’s Drift, fought immediately after the Battle of Isandlwana, is famous throughout the English-speaking world. Here, at a small mission station, 139 British soldiers were attacked by 4000 Zulu warriors. The result was a British victory which saw the award of more Victoria Crosses than in any other battle in history. The story of Rorke’s Drift is an incredibly tragic story; one of human courage and sacrifice. The unspeakable suffering endured by the warriors and soldiers on such a tiny area is confounding.
