The activities offered are endless ;

BATTLEFIELD TOURS
The two Flagship tours are the Battles of Spioenkop and Colenso, together with the capture of Winston Churchill at Chieveley.

SPIOENKOP
Breakfast around 07h45 and the tour departs at 08h30 to this breathtaking hilltop battlefield where this most compelling story, in which Winston Churchill, Louis Botha and Mahatma Ghandi all played a part, is told. The tour returns in time for lunch, approximately four hours later.

COLENSO AND CHURCHIIL’S CAPTURE
After lunch (at approx. 14h30), this tour departs for the site of Winston Churchill’s capture by the Boers. This incident and his subsequent escape propelled him onto the political stage in Britain. The tour then proceeds to the Battlefield of Colenso, where Gen. Sir Redvers Buller VC suffered his first defeat in his attempt to relieve Ladysmith. Seven Victoria Crosses were won in a courageous attempt to save the guns.
