History and Culture Tours
South Africa is more than a cultural melting pot; it's a big warm pot of culture, full of different ingredients and interesting surprises which have developed its rich flavour over centuries. It's a world of unsurpassed variety, mountains, deserts, rain forests, coastlines, wildlife and untouched wilderness areas - a world where 21 different cultures live in harmony and 11 official languages are spoken!
Two globally important wars took place on South African soil in the 19th and early 20th centuries:
the Anglo Boer War and the Anglo Zulu War. In both, small indigenous populations fiercely opposed the heavy might of the British Empire, winning important battles before the vast imperial military machine brought them to submission.
Visit the site of one of the most exciting and bloodiest battles of the Anglo Boer War. A war where 3 people who would change the course of history were all involved at the Battle of Spioenkop – Winston Churchill, Mahatma Gandhi and Gen. Louis Botha.
