Fugitives' Drift Lodge
KwaZulu-Natal

Owned by an Anglo-Zulu war specialist, the rustic and charming Fugitive’s Drift sports two ‘camps’: The Lodge and The Guest House. Spacious en-suite cottages each have a private veranda with views over the plains flanking the Buffalo River Gorge. The Guest House is stuffed with memorabilia and richly detailed stories of war bravery abound. It also has an alluring swimming pool overlooking Isandlwana and the indigenous bushveld.

 Tranquil evenings can be spent dining with delicious seasonal food. After dinner, gaze up in awe at the starry constellations and Milky Way – there is zero light pollution here. Curl up with a book in the new library with its roaring fireplace and views to die for after a day’s sightseeing.

Led by the finest guides in South Africa, thought-provoking and impacting tours are conducted daily to the famous battlefields of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift. Walks and horse-rides through the reserve to view abundant game (including giraffe, zebra and impala) and birdlife are offered as well as fishing on the Buffalo River.

Client Testimonials

Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
We have just returned back from a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for organising everything. The transfer was excellent – for once they had perfect car seats. The villa was lovely, just what we needed and the hotel had helpfully put us as far away as possible from everyone else. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever seen – and I am slightly obsessive over breakfast!! There was an incredible choice, something for everyone and so beautifully presented. A real highlight of the trip. Thank you again for sorting everything - and at such short notice!
- Redmayne family, Phuket
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
