Justin--Isandlwana wasn't the worst defeat Europeans suffered at the hands of Africans. An Italian army was defeated by an Ethiopian one at Adowa in the late 1800s, much bigger disaster than the British one at Isandlwana. If you want to count Asia the British retreat from Kabul in the 1st Afghan War was much worse too as was the British defeat at Maiwand in the 2nd Afghan War, though the Afghan forces at Maiwand were more in the nature of a proper army, with very well served artillery no less.
