There are shops, entertainment, nightlife, hiking and biking trails as well as many cultural and adventure activities available close by.
The open friendly attitude of the Swazi people, paired with some of the most stunning geology and ecology in the region, make Swaziland an awesome playground for adventure seekers, wanderers and travelers of all tastes. From serious extreme sports to gentle meanders, Swaziland won't disappoint. If you prefer guided adventures, we can recommend the right people to take you around.
