Swaziland: What to see in the surroundings?
What our travelers think about their stay
This little country with almost a million inhabitants is in an area of rolling hills and is an enclave in South Africa as well as being a point often passed through between Kruger Park, KwaZulu-Natal and Mozambique which border it.

Going there during the traditional Swazi ceremonies: the Umhlanga festival in August or September, and the Inwala one in December or January are the most spectacular.

My suggestion
When planning your trip, you may want to take into account the dates of traditional events in Swaziland. They provide great opportunities for meeting people and learning more about the customs of the kingdom.
It is not on the main touristic road but worth a stopover as the population is kind and there is a funny culture of absolute monarchy..
