Swaziland

Small as it may be, Swaziland is an exciting destination with arts and crafts outlets, traditional markets and wildlife reserves. This is a country filled with bygone African traditions and culture.

Another major attraction for a visit to Swaziland is the casinos.

Swaziland offers many scenic drives. North of Mbabane, the road to Luve is known as Pine Valley with a series of waterfalls on the Black Umbeluzi River and the granite heights of "Bald Rock". The drive to Piggs Peak, in the north is one of the most scenic in the country. The Malolotja Nature Reserve lies to the west of the road and here, after a hike, you can view the Malolotja Falls, the highest in Swaziland.

Swaziland also hosts a large number of internationally renowned hotels and a number of thermal springs where visitors can relax and unwind, like the Spa at the Royal Swazi Sun.

The landlocked Kingdom of Swaziland is surrounded in the north and south by provinces of South Africa, and on the east is bordered by Mozambique. With an area of just over 17,000 square kilometres, Swaziland is the smallest country in the southern hemisphere.
