Isandlwana Lodge
Luxury Hotel
In the rolling hills of Zululand, cut into the rock face, lies Isandlwana Lodge, overlooking the battlefield plains where the Zulus defeated the British in the first major battle of the Anglo-Zulu war in 1879. Built in the shape of a shield, with thatched roof and rock walls resembling a traditional Zulu kraal. Each of the columns that support the roof is named after a Zulu commander or significant person in the chain of command during the Anglo-Zulu War.
The stillness of the setting belies what is regarded as one of the most dramatic events in the history of the Zulu Kingdom, brought to life by Isandlwana’s resident guide, Dalton Ngobese, himself a descendent of one of the impi warriors at the Battle of Isandlwana.
Isandlwana reverberates with Zulu history and culture, reflected in the lodge décor. The magnificent views of sweeping panoramas of the plains, devoid of development, and likely to look exactly as they did over a hundred years ago, can be viewed from every vantage point.
