Swaziland's Top Experiences

1. Get Adventurous

Swaziland is renowned for its natural beauty and diverse landscape allowing for excellent hiking and whitewater rafting. Whitewater rafting is done on the Usutu River and hikers can experience the country on a number of trails through panoramic scenery to waterfalls and viewpoints.

2. Go Game Viewing and Birding

Although not a renowned big game destination, Swaziland is home to the Big Five and other larger animals. The game parks are open to the general public or can be experienced with a guide from a lodge.

Birding is excellent due to the varied habitats, and around 500 species have been recorded.

3. Experience Swazi Culture

One of the major festivals still celebrated is the Reed Dance or 'Umhlanga'.

Every August the King gets a chance to add to his ever-growing number of wives at this traditional dance. Young virgins perform in front of the Queen and from among them the King chooses his next wife - an honour the girl cannot refuse.

The dance is testament to how proud a nation the Swazi people are, and how willingly they serve an absolute monarchy.
