View what our clients have said...

Not everyone wants to defy the raging torrents of our rivers or abseil 100's of feet, so when it comes to entertaining your corporate clients, something of the luxurious and cerebral will appeal to men and women alike - with still a bit of a challenge for the more physical.

Campaign Trails offers various ways in which you can pamper your special clients on the battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal. All three weekends offer opportunity to relax together in a convivial atmosphere, discuss the day's activities and triumphs forge new friendships and cement old ones.



 

Rorke's Drift & Isandlwana

For this weekend we use the world renowned Fugitives' Drift Lodge, famed for it's story-telling, comfort and cuisine. The weekend, starting on Friday lunch time, includes the riveting stories of Rorke's Drift and Isandlwana, told on the battle sites, themselves. A walk to the graves of Melvill and Coghill, overlooking the point in the Buffalo River where they nearly drowned, attempting to save the Queen's Colour. Extra options for the fitter members of the group is a guided walk down the strenuous Fugitives' Trail or a horse back ride through the game reserve surrounding the lodge.



 

San Rock Art and Spioenkop

This weekend is spent in the shadow of the awe inspiring Drakensberg Range, and Three Tree Hill Lodge. The focus is the Anglo-Boer conflict, and much of the fighting stormed in the vicinity of the luxurious little lodge that overlooks the Spioenkop Nature Reserve. The weekend includes a guided morning walk to San rock art, an afternoon inspecting Boer earthworks on nThabaNyama, and an inspiring talk on the summit of Spioenkop, one of the bloodiest battlefields of the war.



 

Vaalkranz and Spioenkop

As the above weekend, this weekend is spent at Three Tree Hill Lodge. And again, the focus is the Anglo-Boer conflict, and much of the fighting stormed in the vicinity of the luxurious little lodge that overlooks the Spioenkop Nature Reserve. Well trained horses take us to the battlefield of Vaalkranz, we enjoy a sumptuous lunch on the banks of the Tugela River, while the hardier of the group enjoy a swim, and a morning is spent on the summit of Spioenkop, listening to that harrowing tale of miscommunication, stubbornness, bravery, futility.

It is fascinating to note that on the slopes of Spioenkop that four men, later to become world figures and each oblivious of the fame that awaited the other, were to brush shoulders. The four were: Winston Churchill; Mahatma Ghandi; Louis Botha and Denys Reitz.
