Fort Amiel Museum

Fort Amiel Museum contains original buildings including a Guard House, Cook House, Blacksmith's Workshop, Canteen, offices, Magazine, and Shell Store from 1876.

The 80th Staffordshire Regiment constructed Fort Amiel in 1876, which later served as a garrison during the First Boer War and Anglo-Zulu War.

The museum grounds feature a traditional Zulu homestead with authentic furnishings, a medicinal garden, and the Prince Imperial herbal collection.

Visitors can access research services through the museum's extensive archive of historical information, library, photograph collection, and map repository.

The fort stands on an elevated position overlooking the original wagon drift across the Ncandu River, with views of the Drakensberg mountains.
