History of the Area

Northern Natal is well known for its Battlefields from the Anglo-Boer war. Nambiti is privileged to have the Battle of Elandslaagte on its doorstep. Throughout the Northern section of the Reserve there are traces of the Battle, from stone barricades with names engraved into the rock, memorials to the British and Boer’s and the hospital used during and after the battle.
