Set in a game park adjjacent to the Zulu battlefields, this is a ideal smalll lodge. Famed for their tours of the battlefields, our tour certainly was very impressive and fascinating and an excellent picnic was laid on by a lovely waterfall. The guide was superb. The rooms were comfortable and set in pretty gardens, but could do with updating.... More

We stayed at Fugitives Drift for three nights in mid April 2013. It was a great experience. It is clearly a place where a lot of thought has gone into customers stay. The staff are fantastic and I thought Grace was a star. I noticed another visitor saying goodbye to Grace and when she walked away from her, she had... More

A visit to Fugitive's Drift Lodge is likely to go hand in hand with an interest in the battles at Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift. You could just stay here and enjoy the facilities, ambience and friendly staff but combining this with the tours adds immeasurably to the experience. An early start ( 0730 am sharp) beckons for Isandlwana and the... More

A visit to this place should be a must on everyone's "Top 10 Things to Do" list. From start to finish, our stay at Fugitive's Drift was a pleasure and the only thing that marred the trip was that we only had time to stay 1 day. Without exception, the staff were friendly, courteous and attentive to our every need.... More

We took our family to Fugitives Drift for three nights after Easter. We had a fantastic time there and would recommend it to everyone. We were looked after well; the staff were particularly friendly and helpful. The rooms were very comfortable, our meals were delicious and varied and the setting of the Harford Library where lunch is served is breathtaking.... More

We stayed at Fugitive's Drift Guest House. The owners and staff were friendly, efficient and nothing was too much trouble to ensure your perfect stay. Sun downers round the "camp fire" preceded family style dining; the Manager joining the company and expertly ensuring all were comfortable and a part of the ambient dinner party atmosphere. Food was fantastic and accommodation... More
