The fertile, pineapple-growing Malkerns Valley, not far from the Ezulwini strip, is renowned for its arts and craft centres. The handmade creations are so attractive that it is almost impossible to venture up here without buying something.
The most famous is probably Swazi Candles, who have a stunning showroom full of cheerful colours. In their workshop you can see the wax being sculpted into animal shapes, circles and blocks. These are then veneered with animal print design or a kaleidoscope of colours, which become illuminated from within as the candle burns lower.
