Backpacking or travelling in Eswatini (Swaziland)?

  • Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, is the land of kings, mighty animals, traditional ceremonies and breathtaking landscapes. It is small, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in personality and friendly people. Here is a country where you get the feeling that everyone knows everyone else, and maybe they do!
  • Activities Spotting: Spot the big five in Hlane Royal National Park; Cycle or hike through Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary; Climb the unique Sibebe Rock, the second largest monolith in the world; Immerse yourself in Swazi culture at Mantenga Cultural Village; Take a canopy tour of Malolotja Nature Reserve; Visit the glassblowing workshop of Ngwenya Glass; Learn to make Swazi Candles; Explore the Ezulwini Valley - the valley of heaven full of markets and spas; Picnic at the Phophonyane waterfalls.
  • Spotting animals: rhinos, elephants, hippos, giraffes, crocodiles, lions, buffalos, impalas, zebras, vervet monkeys and the list goes on.
  • Spotting food: here comes another list of things you have never heard of in your life - sishwala, emahewu, sidvudvu, smap and beans, chicken dust, braai, inkhobe, emasi, umbidvo wetintsanga.

Living in Eswatini (Swaziland)?

  • Living in Eswatini can be a special experience. The country offers a mix of beautiful nature, a close-knit community and a rich culture. The lifestyle is relaxed, and you can enjoy the outdoors while being surrounded by the warm hospitality of the locals. However, it is also a very poor country with a low life expectancy.
  • You may choose to move there for the beautiful scenery, relaxed lifestyle, cultural experiences and relatively low costs, but be aware of limited infrastructure, healthcare and more limited recreational opportunities than in larger countries.
  • There are a number of international schools in the major cities.
  • Safety-wise, it is relatively good, but make sure you avoid urban areas in the evening.
  • Swazi culture is rich and diverse, with many traditions, ceremonies and festivals. Living in Swaziland means you can participate in these cultural events and gain a deeper understanding of local customs. The annual Umhlanga (reed dance) for example is a spectacle not to be missed!
  • The climate is subtropical.
  • Healthcare is limited and can vary in quality. So make sure you have your own comprehensive health insurance.
