Nicki
von der Heyde lives near Durban,
KwaZulu-Natal. She graduated from the University
of Cape Town having read English and History,
and later taught history at high school.
After raising a family, she combined her
love for travel, horses and South African
war history by introducing tours of the
battlefields on horseback for the first
time. Researching these routes led to the
re-discovery of old trenches, gun emplacements,
wagon trails, graves and other relics that
she is now able to share with those wishing
to explore the battlefields with her. Nicki
arranges tours and excursions through the
Anglo Zulu and Anglo Boer war battlefields
and is renowned for her expert knowledge
and passion for her subject. These tours
may be in a safari vehicle, on horseback
or on foot and include cultural experiences
and spectacular scenery. She is a Fellow
of the Royal Geographical Society and an
honorary life member of the Anglo-Zulu War
Historical Society. |
