The Kingdom of Swaziland or eSwatini as local Swati’s call their nation is a beautiful 17,364 km2 landlocked country sharing with borders South Africa and Mozambique.

map_of_swazilandA unique selling point for Swaziland is her unpretentious friendly people. They are not being friendly to you because you are a tourist but because you are a human being and that is how the Swati people treat each other.

Contrary to popular set itineraries,
Swaziland has more to offer than just a one night stop over.  The country has a lot to offer like unique arts and crafts, pristine nature reserves with hiking trails for ardent hikers. Whitewater rafting is a firm favourite for both local residents and tourist alike.

While moving towards a being first world country she has kept and maintained her tradition and culture. Unapologetically so.

Whether you spend a day sightseeing or just appreciating the natural beauty of
Swaziland’s landscape, her lush green sweeping hills to contrasting flat dry plain lands will take your breath away. Take a deep breath, and another, just for good measure.

I can go on and on highlighting her splendour, the bottom line is Swaziland has to be experienced rather than described. I insist. Let us help you in planning your tailor-made itinerary by sending us an email: info@swafrica.co.za
