Timbuktu is the No. 1 Tour Operator in the 2024 edition of the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards!
A major milestone indeed
At first sight, it’s hard to imagine that the peaceful green hills and valleys were ever home to such violent conflicts between the Boers, Zulus and Brits. But a few hours spent in the company of one of the fascinating guides will reveal the secrets of the Battlefields and the part they played in shaping modern South Africa. This is where the notorious clashes at Blood River took place; where the catastrophic defeat of the British by the Zulu occurred, and of course, where the brave defence of Rorke’s Drift played out. The lodges in the area are magnificent and stay here will immerse you wholly in the history of the country.
