Leave your expectations at the airport and let Swaziland take you on an authentically, small-Africa adventure. The entire country of Swaziland may be quite tiny, but it packs in plenty of wondrous customs and traditions. The country’s unofficial slogan is “Relax, there’s no hurry in Swaziland.” So, take your time and explore the landscapes that shape the country and enjoy the contrast between the deep lush valleys and high mountain tops.
There are several nature reserves that are home to Africa’s Big 5 and the local people couldn’t be prouder that they were gifted this beautiful land. These include Hlane National Park and Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary. Swaziland is one of the few countries that still have a monarch and King Mswati lll is a legal ruler of the land.
The Swazi people are a proud, yet very friendly and accommodating people and though they might not always have much, they are willing to share it with you. Their generosity is part of what makes the country such a great place. Stay for a while and learn the customs to take home with you.
On your trip to this beautiful country, make sure to visit Lobamba Village in the Ezulwini valley and walk around the National Museum to learn about the rich cultural history and the royal family as well. If you’re lucky enough to be visiting in time, witness an age-old annual tradition of the Umhlanga Reed Dance, where the country’s maidens dance for the royal family.
