We have just been on a great tour of South Africa and had a specialist guide take us around the site of the Battle of Isandlwana (which happened in 1879) and the incredible defence of the Hospital at Rorkes Drift. Anthony Coleman was our guide and was booked through Prana Holidays. Highly recommended.

Magical hotel overlooking Isandlwana plain, an absolutly fantastic view. This is where the Zulu army defeated the British before going to Rorkes Drift where the British defeated them. There's more to it than this and at Isandlwana you'll learn about it. Hotel is 4-star, 10 rooms at half board. It is quite literally in the middle-of-nowhere. Brilliant. A place to go before you die..

Amazingly calm and beautiful place that takes a more eco-friendly, and less consumerist, approach to the safari experience. They have persuaded various South African landowners to work together to re-introduce the elephants.

Beautiful house and lovely, lovely luxury tents. Food is excellent. Has great connections with local community projects and can help organise eg: flying doctors flight (which helps pay for a doctors visit to a local viallage)/or to visit a local orphanage.
