There are two reasons to visit Rorke's Drift Battlefield and Museum. 1) It boasts the best field museum on the Battlefields Route. The detailed dioramas, complete with sound effects and electronic diagrams, tell how 100 British soldiers held off 4,000 Zulu warriors at the Battle of Rorke's Drift on 22 January 1879. 2) The ELC Art and Craft Centre, located next door, is a great place to browse for tapestries, pottery, textiles and beadwork.
