Mountaneous grandeur, lush forests, fertile valleys and the hot still beat of the African Lowveld combine to take one on a scenic self drive tour of wonders through a ” royal experience”. Swaziland is the best and rare example of a country living in the old African traditions and beliefs. History and culture have been carefully taken into the 21st century. A warm welcome and heartly hospitality, secure travelling through out the country makes one’s stay special and unforgettable. Swaziland is a landlocked country, bordered by South Africa on three sides except to the east, where it borders Mozambique. The country, inhabited primarily by Bantu speaking Swazi people, is named after the 19th century king Mswati II, from whom the people also take their name. As you travel through the country, you will discover, as many before you, that Swaziland has a quaint offering of diverse vegetation at every turn, which one should probably expect in a larger country.
