We arrived into Swaziland ton Saturday and it was quite a drive from Kruger park. The landscape of Swaziland was just breathtaking. There were so many hills and valleys and trees. Tons of green. It really doesn't seem like the typical Africa that probably many of you think of. We arrived at near our hotel for the evening and the first thing we did was visit the Mantanga Nature Reserve. There we visited a traditional Swazi village and got to see a traditional Swazi dance. It was awesome and very interesting to see and watch.
After that we checked into our hotel and took a mini walk to a small shopping centre near our hotel. Sanna and is discovered what we wanted to buy as souvenir. We enjoyed dinner at our hotel that evening and of course fell asleep super early.
The second day we woke up around 4am - welcome to jet lag!
We had breakfast at our hotel and ventured out for about 5 hours at markets and did some shopping. We got some traditional Swazi baskets for super cheap. They are a great souvenir. I also got this Swazi candle which is hand made and in the shape of a rhino. Really cool. I guess that I'll reopen it years later and remember it - ha!
We got back to our hotel around 1 in the afternoon and just relaxed at the restaurant and did some research for the second half of our South Africa trip in Cape Town area. Of course passed out by 6pm. So tired - but up again super early the next day
Today we drove all the way back to jburg. The drive was lovely and it took us roughly around 4 hours which wasn't too bad because it was mostly freeways. The border control between South Africa and Swazi was smooth aswell which was refreshing.
It's raining right now. 😢
