Discovering Eswatini:
Join me, Ricky Dunn, and my wife Nat, as we embark on our first African adventure with a month in the beautiful Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland). From the wildlife at Dombeya Game Reserve to the city of Manzini, we self-drive to national parks and meet locals while learning about this lesser-visited country.
Highlights:
- Arriving in Eswatini and settling into Shonalanga Lodge within the Dombeya Game Reserve, surrounded by giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, antelopes, and warthogs.
- Shopping for groceries in Manzini and experiencing the local lifestyle.
- Attending the Bushfire Festival, a vibrant multi-day event celebrating music, arts, and social change.
- Exploring the markets of Mbabane and learning about Eswatini’s culture with our guide Lunga from Nolu Tours.
- Visiting Mamba Country with Phumie Mamba and gaining insights into rural life and local politics.
- Self-driving through Hlane Royal National Park, encountering rhinos, lions, elephants, and more.
- Crossing the border for an unforgettable safari in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
Whether you're an armchair tourist, seeking travel inspiration, or considering a visit to Eswatini, join us as we explore this fascinating country.
