Intro

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.

Studying in Eswatini (Swaziland)?

  • The size (or “smallness”) of the country is reflected in the number of study options. But there are certainly good study opportunities in Eswatini. Think of studies in the field of agriculture, engineering, technology, management and science.
  • Study cities: Mbabane.
  • Language: English.

Internships in Eswatini (Swaziland)?

  • There are mainly internships in the field of nature conservation, tourism, education and at local companies. Volunteering in Eswatini (Swaziland)?
  • There are certainly fun and good opportunities to be found. Think of volunteering in the field of education, healthcare, community development and nature conservation.

Working in Eswatini (Swaziland)?

  • As a foreigner you will mainly find work with NGOs. There are also jobs in education and healthcare.

Working as a digital nomad in Eswatini (Swaziland)?

  • An emerging destination with a relaxed lifestyle and beautiful nature. Internet is available in urban areas, but facilities are still in development for a true digital nomad existence.

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.

Travel in Swaziland

  • Nestled between South Africa and Mozambique lies the kingdom of Swaziland. This kingdom has a diverse landscape with impressive hilly areas and lowlands. The large selection of wildlife parks, hiking trails, adventure sports (such as rafting and mountain biking) and well-maintained roads make the former Swaziland a pleasant destination. The local population still lives mainly in a traditional way and Swazis are often described as friendly and good-humored.

From language courses to gap year abroad, from work experience to volunteering abroad, from paid work to internship abroad, from mountaineering to diving and from backpacking to travel around the world

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
