About Babanango

Babanango's a small Zululand town on the R68, between Melmoth and Ulundi, with the N2 as your main link if you're coming up from Durban or Richards Bay. Locals nip through to Melmoth for supplies, but the long hauls from places like Vanderbijlpark and Bethlehem show it's mostly battlefield and game reserve tourists making the trip. Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi Airport is 48 km off near Ulundi. Charging stations are thin on the ground, so plan ahead. Worth knowing: Isandlwana battlefield and Babanango Game Reserve are both close by.
