sheim is the ideal base from which to explore the famous Zululand battle sites. We offer you a gateway to the kingdom of Shaka Zulu, South Africa’s Napolean!

For battlefield enthusiasts, we have partnered with Mike Nel (www.zululandtours.co.za), a registered tour guide who specialises in bringing the battlefield history to life with his extensive knowledge of the area and the events that defined it. Let us know if you would like us to book a tour for you.

Maps of the battle sites are available on request.
