SWAZILAND FULL DAY TOUR

This tour is intended for guests staying at Lodges, Hotels & B&B’s in the White River, Hazyview, Nelspruit, Malelane & Southern Kruger Park areas. Depending on your Lodge’s location, will depend on the pick-up time.

You will be collected from your Lodge at about 08h00 for the transfer through to Swaziland. We will enter the Kingdom of Swaziland through the Jeppe’s Reef Border Gate which is 47kms or 30 minutes from Malelane. This is not a very busy border post so the formalities should take no longer than 10 minutes. After entering Swaziland, we continue past vast orange and banana plantations and climb the escarpment to the mining town of Pigg’s Peak where we will stop at the Wayside Inn for tea and coffee.

We will then continue through pine and blue gum forests and descend into the beautiful Maguga Valley and up the other side to the Kingdom’s capital city of Mbabane. This is a journey through spectacular scenery and should take about 1h30. The tour will include a “city” tour of Mbabane and a visit to the market before we descend the escarpment to the Ezulwini Valley, also known as Swaziland’s Riviera. Full of hotels, casinos, golf courses, restaurants, spas and night clubs. We will stop at the craft market in the valley before continuing onto Malandela’s in Malkerns for lunch. This is for the clients own account.

After lunch we will visit the well known candle factory and “Baobab Batik” where you will have the opportunity to purchase some magnificent and unique hand made gifts. We then retrace our steps and return to Mbabane and on to the well known Ngwenya Glass Factory. Here you will witness a group of Swazi craftsmen create amazing animals, wine, beer and an array of other glasses and other interesting artifacts from molten recycled glass. A truly captivating creating of “the spirit and soul of Africa”. From the Ngwenya Glass Factory to the Oshoek Border Post where we exit Swaziland is a few kilometeres and from Oshoek back to your Lodge is about a 90 minute drive, again through some breathtaking scenery and mountain passes. A day to remember.
