Experiences

Please note that it is ESSENTIAL TO PRE-BOOK BATTLEFIELD TOURS should you be particularly interested. (Even if you are on our Fully Inclusive package) We do not run every single tour type every day, and our guides may already be committed with a different tour, so it is therefore recommended to stay a minimum 3 nights should you wish to cover some of these tours. Please email frontdesk@threetreehill.co.za to arrange.

Three Tree Hill Lodge (formerly known as Three Trees at Spioenkop) specializes in the history of the South African War, (2nd Anglo-Boer War 1899 – 1902) with the Battle of Spioenkop being our focal point. One cannot however hope to understand this watershed event (not just for South Africa, but also for Great Britain, being the ‘the longest, the costliest, the bloodiest and most humiliating war that Britain fought in between 1815 and 1914’) without studying what caused one of the smallest countries in the world to declare war on the world’s greatest empire of the time. Our guide, Pierre Jonker, brings this dramatic period of our history to life, presenting world class, holistic, evocative and insightful tours.
