Cottage Renovations Complete

Renovations to our cottage at the Lodge are now complete. The cottage now consists of two beautifully appointed, larger en-suite bedrooms and a sitting room. One one bathroom has a bath and a shower, the other is a smaller shower-room. The cottage is ideal for small families or two couples travelling together.

Pictures of the cottage will follow soon. For more information, please get in touch with the Lodge via email: reservations@fugitivesdrift.com.

Limited Edition Prints Now Available

After much demand, Fugitives’ Drift is now pleased to offer for sale prints of William Whitelocke Lloyd’s remarkable watercolours, painted during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. There are six limited edition prints available – 500 prints of each painting will be produced. All these paintings are featured in David Rattray’s last book A Soldier Artist in Zululand.

William Whitelocke Lloyd was an officer of the 1st Battalion of the 24th Regiment of Foot and saw active service during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. After leaving the army, he served as the official artist for the P&O and Union Castle Lines and serveral books were published of his artwork. His artwork from the Anglo-Zulu War lay unpublished for more than a century until they were found in an attic in England and shown to David Rattray.

Prints can ordered through Fugitives’ Drift Lodge, as can David’s book.

Rob Caskie Returns From A Very Successful UK Lecture Tour

Rob Caskie, our Senior Lecturer, has returned from yet another very successful lecture tour in the UK. This time he gave 5 lectures at Bisley, Chobham, Cumnor House School, Bramdean and Harrods in London, all in aid of various charitable endeavors. The lectures were extremely popular and every venue was filled to the rafters.

Three more rounds of talks are planned for 2010, in June, September and November. For more information, please get in touch with the Lodge: reservations@fugitivesdrift.com.

Cottage Renovations

We at Fugitives’ Drift continue to concentrate on offering our popular and fascinating lectures on the Anglo-Zulu war, delivered by our world-class guides. While the newly completed Harford Library now forms the centre-piece of the Lodge, attention has now turned to our Cottage.  The Cottage, or Annex, at the Lodge is an ideal choice for families or small groups and has always been popular. However, it has always been felt that the Cottage did not quite meet our high standards.

In that light, the Cottage is currently closed and will remain closed until the middle of November 2009 in order to renovate and improve upon what has always been sought-after accommodation.

When the Cottage reopens, it will be made up of two luxury twin rooms, both en-suite, and a sitting-room. This improvement will be accompanied by an increased rate of R1290pppn as of November 2009.
