Africa Adventure

Swaziland is little monarchy which is mostly located in South Africa, but also ventures across into Mozambique. It is the only surviving monarchy on the African continent, a fact which is somewhat controversial as the king rules with an iron fist and has a habit of marrying young virgins. However, this doesn’t detract from the country’s natural beauty, which includes bushveld, mountains and forests. Swaziland is a treasure trove of activities for adventurous holiday-makers. It’s also perfect for those who like to immerse themselves in African culture with several opportunities to experience traditional African life.

Hiking in the mountains is a popular activity, especially as the trails available are diverse enough for all fitness levels. Some of the best hiking trails include:

• Mlawula Trails in the Lubombo Mountains. The trails are accessible from the Mlawula Game Reserve which is part of the Lubombo Conservancy.
