- Blood River (Between Boer and Zulu, lead to the Day of the Covenant)
- Siege of Ladysmith
- The armoured train
- Winston Churchills capture

Dundee also boasts an excellent historical museum, as does Rorkes Drift.

The town has a picturesque 18-hole golf course and offers squash, tennis, bowls and fishing. For the more adventurous the nearby Buffalo River offers white water rafting and canoeing.
