*A record number of eleven Victoria Crosses were awarded to the defenders, the highest number of VCs ever awarded by Britain in one battle

*The Battle of Blood River Site
*A tragic story from 1838. Negotiations for land between the King of the Zulus (Dingane) and the Boer leader (Piet Retief) were unsuccessful, and due to misunderstandings, a group of 101 Voortrekkers were killed at Kwamatiwane (hill of execution)
*As a result, the Boers made a vow that if God grant them victory over the Zulus, they would build a church in thanksgiving and commemorate the event annually
*Later that month, 15 000 Zulus attacked 460 Voortrekkers at Blood River. The Boers were indeed victorious. Today, at the site of the Battle of Blood River, there is a stone memorial and striking replica of the Voortrekker laager (circle of wagons) cast in bronze
*A stone cairn marks the centre point of the laager, indicating the spot where the Covenant was made.

*Zulu Cultural areas
*This outing aims to give one a glimpse into the lives, homes and customs of the modern Zulu people. Spend a fascinating day out in Zululand visiting rural Zulu homesteads, chat with the residents via your experienced guide and be enlightened as to their way of life
