Swaziland Guide
Things Not to Miss
1 Malandela's Homestead in Malkerns Valley A collection of buildings bursting with creativity and enterprise, including the funky performance space House on Fire, and Gone Rural, one of the best of Swaziland's many attractive arts and crafts outlets.
2 Myxo's place, KaPhunga Get a true taste of life in rural Swaziland – this enterprising project allows backpackers to live as part of a village for a few days.
3 Malolotja A wild, rugged and breathtakingly beautiful reserve attracting hundreds of different bird species, with a network of trails perfect for hiking or horse-riding.
4 Whitewater rafting on the Great Usutu As action-packed as anything south of the Zambezi – you can paddle a two-man croc raft down Swaziland's largest river.
5 Mkhaya Game Reserve Swaziland's best wildlife experience, where you can walk with rhino and elephant before sleeping in the bush in open-sided cottages.
