Thanks for a great site.
Difficult to find good driving maps to Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift battlefield sights. Google maps for these areas is not sufficient. Any idea where I could obtain some? Thanks.
Is the battlefield at isandlwana still untouched to this day. Is it still the way it was the day of the battle. I mean no stores or homes or commercial building around it.
Hi
I would like to book for my learners for the May hike.
Thank you.
