Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, Swaziland's pioneer conservation area, is a beautiful, secluded sanctuary situated in Swaziland's 'Valley of Heaven', the Ezulwini Valley, in between Mbabane and Manzini.

Mlilwane means 'Little Fire', derived from the numerous fires started by lightning strikes on the Mlilwane Hill. Covering 4,560 hectares, Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary comprises a southern region of open grassland plains and a northern section that includes one of the highest points at Luphohlo.

Tourist activities at Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary are concentrated in the southern section, with only guided trails entering the pristine mountains of the north. These activities include hiking, sundowner & sunrise drives, mountain biking, horse riding and cultural tours.

Just outside of the main rest camp is the interpretation centre where you can learn about rhino salvage operations, Swaziland's heritage and anti-poaching efforts.

Sibhaca Dancing is the traditional Swazi dance performed by teams of men (and sometimes even women) at a vigorous pace. The 'headman' of the Sibhaca dance will personally invite you to an evening of Sibhaca entertainment around the main campfire.
