Amphitheatre (Drakensberg)

Another trail to the foot of the Tugela Falls starts at Royal Natal National Park.

The easy seven kilometre gradient up the Tugela gorge winds through indigenous forests.

The set for the British field hospital and supply depot at Rorke's Drift was created by the Tugela River with the Amphitheatre in the background.

The real location of the battle at Rorke's Drift was about 60 mi (97 km) to the northwest near the small hillock known as Isandlwana.
