Fugitive's Drift
Our next adventure led us to Fugitive's Drift where we learned all about the Zulu-Anglo wars. We stayed at a lodge called the Fugitive Drift which was absolutely fantastic. It was, however, the kind of place that's not for kids in the dining room. This fact actually worked out great because Megan and I had a great excuse for eating dinner in our bedroom.
This, of course included playing in between meals.
One of the neat thing about staying at Fugitive's Drift were the really neat history tours that we were able to do. We were able to walk all around the battle fields of the Zulu- Anglo war and it was so neat to hear the history from story tellers that were very gifted in telling these histories. I was absolutely taken with the stories, which is saying a lot since I generally tune out of any history lesson.
It was, of course, cold so blankets were worn during the tours, but I feel like that helped us blend into the Zulu landscape. There were also lots of giraffe roaming around the lodge that were really amazing to see.
It was really cool to be going out on a history tour and see giraffes right outside the window. We also got the chance to go visit a waterfall that was right near where the Anglo warriors thought the Zulu warriors were hiding….it was just beautiful!
And you just couldn't beat the scenery.
