Swaziland, South Africa, is a tiny landlocked republic that at first glance appears slightly inconsequential. After all, comprising a scant 17,364 square kilometres, it couldn't have much to offer the holidaymaker, right? Wrong. In fact, Swaziland offers a smorgasbord of entertainment options and leisure pursuits that are sure to impress even the most surfeited world traveller.
A Swaziland vacation is a great way to explore a portion of Africa that has reclaimed independence after lengthy colonisation. A huge social shift like this makes for an eclectic culture that speaks of both ancient tradition and modern governance. Present-day Swaziland gained independence from the United Kingdom in 6 September 1968 and is an absolute monarchy governed by King Mswati III. Borne from an ancient dynasty of royal leadership, the mountainous monarchy retains a deep sense of mystery that has long been associated with African tribes. In fact, their motto is "Siyinqaba", which can be translated to "we are a mystery".
Aside from incredible mountain vistas, unfettered rural charm and warm hospitality, visitors to Swaziland can expect a wide array of activities and leisure pursuits that include bird watching, game viewing and golfing. Those who prefer activities that get the adrenaline pumping can sign up for river rafting, caving, quad biking and even helicopter flips that afford you a unique perspective of the country while testing the stability of your stomach! Keen to partake in cultural pursuits? Join an expedition to the world renowned Nsangwini Rock Art site that was once the location of sacred rain making ceremonies.
