We had an excellent local guide who spent an hour giving us a very detailed history of the site. Very moving, and in a really beautiful spot. It is very open so take water, sun cream and a hat.

From on top of Magersfontein Hill you can see the whole battlefield and then drive down and see the various monuments. The video clip has you with the Boers inside their trenches with the British walking into the ambush.
4. Khambula Battlefield

Reviewed By tofrek1885 - Shrewsbury, United Kingdom
Remote and little visited, Khambula offers a view of a major Zulu battlefield that has altered very little, with the exception of small areas of forestry planting which in fact do not spoil the view or sense of place. The high point of the site (the British redoubt area) offers sweeping views over all the surrounding fields and an enables an easy appreciaiton of the way the battle played out, with successive attacks from different approaches being fought off. I found it a very evocatvie and fasciniating place.

Reviewed By holly031sa - Durban, South Africa
Raymond Heron from the Spionkop Lodge was an outstanding guide. He shared detailed stories of the battle of Spionkop. I would highly recommend this as part of trip to South Africa, particularly if you are interested in South African History or as a soccer fan who wants to experience the origins of the Spion Kop and its significance in soccer history.
