Rorkes Drift B&B is ideally located. About 2km from the Rorkes Drift Battlefield and on the road to Isandlwana. We found the rooms delightful, the food delicious (we upgraded to full board) and even did Christmas lunch here. The staff are all local and were very friendly and engaging. Most of all I loved that the B&B is part of Khula Education and the Charles Aikenhead Innovation Hub and all profits go back into uplifting the local community. If you are socially minded and love sustainable non-profits, this is the place for you. Not only is the accommodation and food excellent but the cause is very worthy and I loved being able to play a small part in helping uplift this beautiful community. I would definitely choose Rorkes Drift B & B again.

Rooms- modern, very comfortable, pool towels included. Pool - stunning waterfall pool, the loungers as round the pool are padded and recline, there's an outside table for lunch. Boma - where they have dinner aorund a huge fire pit, tables are set around the fire pit and the buffet is very extensive with lots of veggie options. Meats are cooked on the braii Inside - comfy chair areas to sit around and relax, bar area and inside dinning area where breakfast is served and other meals during the rain. Safari private tours - We had Siboniso, he was so lovely and worked so far to find us game. You get an early morning drive and a mid afternoon drive included everyday. You can go on 1 or both daily. You stop half way to have a drink and some snacks in the wild. Absolutely incredible. Staff- the staff are unbelievable. Attentive to your every need. All staff seem to be doing multiple roles making for a friendly environment. Animals - home to the big 5! We saw cheetah and cubs, lions, rhino rolling in the mud, zebra, giraffe and lots of buck.

Everything about the place is memorable and we cannot get enough of. The reception by Phumi and Lindokuhle was warm, friendly and informative excellent service from the entrance. Our room 206 was clean and smelt fresh, our bathroom felt like it had not been used by anyone before. The two guys from the ZIPLINE;Simphiwe and Sibusiso are proffessionals, from the gearing up,tutor instructions up to the last landing platform. They took us step by step and were very careful. Before the Zipline we went for Quads by a very patient young man Phumlani. He also took us through the process first before gearing us up and did not rush us through the trails the 2hrs felt very little. After the day was done we got to relax at the Raptors bar with Mcebo who has a thing with cocktails. Every order we made came out exceptional. We definitely going back. Almost forgot the kitchen!!!! the waiiters were sooo attentive. The chef himself came out to ask us about his creations... Perfect every time.

The beautiful lodge is located in the south of the private game reserve. We had a fantastic time. Our guide Gerry was able to tell us so much about the animals and plants and was able to recognize and correctly interpret the tracks of the animals, which was very impressive. We also had many breathtaking and funny moments in our encounters with the animals. The safaris were always the highlight of the day. And if it was still fresh in the morning, there were even hot water bottles ready. The lodge itself and the staff never left anything to be desired. The particularly delicious food deserves special mention.

We loved everything. From the friendly welcome to the outstanding game drives. Special thanks to Joe for an incredible experience and to Chorl for going the extra mile. Incredible dinner, actually the best I have had in Southafrica. First time for me in a Lodge that I was given a menu with different choices, considering all of my diat requirements and our nephew, having other allergies, another one, but as exceptional as ours. Thumbs up for the chef and the whole Nambiti Hills experience!

there was very little that impressed me and certainly not value for money. roads to the resort are terrible with many potholes . weekend buffet was really good but a la carte for the rest of the week is mediocre with some items not available. the complete resort needs a revamp . no effort is made to entertain guests hot pools were really good but there should have been refreshments available nearby ( 300m ) to get a cooldrink.

This is a really good game lodge which is very good value for money. Our spacious room had an amazing view and animals often came right past our deck. In the main building food and drink were always available. All three meals were very good with a good choice of food. The staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful. All the grounds were immaculate and the deck in front of the dining room had a view of a watering hole where we saw many animals drinking, including a giraffe. Our ranger, Jonno, ensured we saw four of the big five, leopards are always elusive. Additionally, there was a wide range of antelopes, birds, a hippopotamus and a serval which was a rare sighting.

The location of Van Reenen is a) convenient and b) a beautiful part of the world. The scenery is fantastic. The town itself could do with a good lick of paint and a rich and enthusiastic developer of historic buildings. There are a couple of very pretty house which are well looked after. Across the road from the petrol station is "The littlest Church" where we stop for breakfast. Fabulous - both the church, view and breakfast.

The city is a great stopover on the way to the Drakensberg Mountains (Giants Castle or Champagne Valley) plus it is only a short drive to the Wagendrift Nature reserve and Moor Park. Good town to stock up on supplies before heading to the mountains.

The boundary of the municipality is the river, I was surprised at how long it took to reach the town. The town is African, I did some shopping but didn’t explore much beyond the hotel. In the morning I drove on the rough track which is the direct route to Isandlwana battlefield. The road was very rough, surface badly eroded by rain. Approaching Isandlwana I drove down a steep hill with a very poor surface which I would be unlikely to get up if I was going the other way. I returned to Nqutu via Rorke’s Drift and almost reached the edge of Dundee before I got to the Nqutu turning.

We enjoyed the company of our tour guides who took us to Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift and explained the battles that took place. Mphiwa Ntanzi and Douglas Rattray were so informative that it felt as if you were reliving what had transpired so many decades ago. Breakfast, Lunch, Tea and Dinner were at Fugitive's Drift. So much food, that a person was putting on weight :) A standard vehicle can get you around Rorke's Drift, but it would be better if a person had a 4x4.

I Lived there for 18 years and had wonderfull childhood memories, but now the roads are very bad and basically offer you only 1 option to travel there and that is via Standerton, ant mostly with a SUV due to the amount of potholes on the road, that is not getting fixed.... Wonderfull town for any historian!!!
