Swaziland/Eswatini
Do you love nature, animals and friendly people? Swaziland is Africa’s last remaining true monarchy and in its unique laid-back way is steeped in Swazi culture and tradition. It is a scenic, hilly Kingdom with the big 5 (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo) and with lots of fun and adventure activities, that captures the heart of anyone who takes the time to experience it.
Safety:
The contrast between rich and poor in Swaziland is big if you compare certain neighbourhoods in the cities with the rural villages. The country is politically stable and the crime rate in Swaziland is quite low when compared to South Africa, but crime can still occur of course. No need to worry though, because we will make sure you will travel and stay in a safe area. However, like everywhere else in the world, we can’t give you 100% safety guarantee. The necessary precaution and alertness are recommended as always when travelling abroad. Therefore, we will make you aware of all the do’s and don’ts in Swaziland during our specific safety meeting.
