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. |

company of key business associates with absolute
discretion... Partners will love it too!
Campaign Trails offers
Corporate Executives a tranquil environment with
complete privacy and exclusivity for those
important workshops and meetings. Absolute
confidentiality and discretion guaranteed.
Based on a farm just outside
Dundee (on the famous battlefield route of KZN),
the lodge boasts comfortable accommodation and
wonderful, imaginative home cooking. Game
abounds on the farm that includes an organic
earthworm compost project and a small wood and
steel-working factory. Built into the concept is
a tour to the nearby Isandlwana and Rorke's
Drift battlefield sites, with a specialist

life. |
