21st December – Post 21 - Isandlwana, South Africa

On 22 January 1879, thousands of warriors of the Zulu Kingdom fell upon 1,800 British, colonial and native troops, inflicting a devastating defeat.

Stand upon the high ground here and you can see almost all of the battlefield. Imagine the flow of Zulus as they attack and overrun the bright redcoats of Queen Victoria's army. 

With a Zulu guide by your side recounting the stories of what unfolded that day, this beautiful peaceful landscape comes alive with history.
