How does one describe Swaziland…laid-back, easy-going, untouched, unbelievably naturally beautiful! It may be the smallest country in Africa, but is one with the biggest heart. Swaziland’s remarkable bunch of national parks is as a result of an energetic and proactive attitude towards wildlife preservation. Swazlind is an extremely proud nation. Warmth and friendliness is extended to each and every visitor.

Swaziland is a tiny independent kingdom, one of the few absolute monarchies left in the world. It is packed neatly between South Africa and Mozambique. Travellers from all corners of the earth are drawn for its ethnic culture and rural charm, especially for traditional events such as the annual reed dance at the Royal Kraal.

Even shopping is a unique experience! One cannot leave Swaziland without buying its famous Swazi candles and incredible Ngwenya glass products. You are welcome to watch the artists at work. At Ngwenya Glass Village, each piece is handmade from re-cycled glass by Swazi people. Every weekday, from an overhead balcony, visitors may follow the glassblowing process which ends with the polishing stage. The impressive showroom houses a variety of glass sculptures, from African animals, birds and fish to simple paperweights and tableware. Swedish-trained master glassblower Sibusiso Mhlanga is responsible for large vases, wine coolers and ice buckets as well as lamps and salad bowls.

Swaziland make for an excellent game viewing and cultural safari. The tours can be done alone in Swaziland, although it is recommended that you combine Swaziland as part of a longer tour through South Africa. Along the way, we overnight at a cheetah farm near Pongola, and we also include fun frog safari as part of the package.
