Tours of the battlefield are a must for every visitor. Spionkop was the scene of one of the most futile, and perhaps the bloodiest of Battles fought in the 1899 - 1902 Anglo-Boer war. The farmstead on which Spionkop Lodge is located, was seconded by the Commander-in-chief of the British forces, Sir Redvers Buller, for his headquarters. His troops camped on the farm for several days prior to the Battle of Spionkop. The British suffered heavy losses in an effort to relieve the beleaguered town of Ladysmith, where their forces were besieged by Boer Commandos for 118 days. 23-year-old war correspondent Winston Churchill, stretcher-bearer Mahatma Gandhi and Boer General Louis Botha, South Africa's first Prime Minister in 1910, all took part in the battle on that fateful day of 1900.

Your host and Anglo-boer war raconteur, Raymond Heron, will accompany you to the many historic sights. He paints a vivid picture of the personal trauma and military mindset that resulted in the slaughter of so many British and Boer soldiers. Tours to the various battlefields can be made on horseback or in the comfort of an airconditioned vehicle.
