Eswatini Tours (Swaziland)

The tiny, landlocked kingdom of Eswatini (Swaziland) has more to offer than its size suggests. And on our cultural holidays in Eswatini (Swaziland), you can see prolific wildlife, incredible scenery and beautiful beaches while delving into the region’s rich culture and tucking into their world-class wine. It has a new name, too, with the king recently declaring it the Kingdom of Eswatini to mark 50 years since independence from British rule.

The country has a multitude of game reserves and national parks that are home to the Big Five: the lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, African leopard and rhino. On our Johannesburg to Cape Town adventure, you’ll get the opportunity to enjoy a game drive through the king’s old hunting grounds – Hlane Royal National Park. You can also hop off for an exciting safari, on foot, with our experienced trackers where you might spot herds of zebras, blue wildebeests and warthogs. Another cultural tour of Eswatini (Swaziland) occurs on our reverse Cape Town to Johannesburg trip, where you’ll have another chance to explore the region’s breathtaking mountain kingdoms.

Highlights of Eswatini (Swaziland) holidays

1. Nature walking: Seeing animals and tracks outside of the confines of a vehicle is a thrilling experience and gives you the chance to see and hear the variety of smaller animals and birds that are often passed by while driving.

2. Game drives: There’s nothing on Earth quite like getting up before sunrise to go on a game drive in Africa. Waking up with nature’s creatures on the open plain is spectacular, and, aside from the humbling sight of the sun rising over the savannah, you’ll have the opportunity to spot elephants, lions, rhinos, hippos, giraffes and antelopes.

3. Malolotja Nature Reserve: Stunning flora awaits on one of the many picturesque walking trails that cross 200km of high-altitude grasslands and lower-lying bush. Spot over 280 species of bird and many antelope species, and choose from 19 different camping sites.

4. Waterfalls: The Nkomati River cuts a gorge through the Malolotja Nature Reserve and flows east in a series of falls and rapids. Follow a trail up to a viewpoint to be awestruck by the magnificent Malolotja Falls. Climb even further to the upper Majolomba Falls and take a picnic for one of the most memorable lunches of your life.

Prior to my trip I fully reviewed the itinerary and the many favourable comments on the trip and your company. This is not an assassination as there we many positive aspects. My travelling partner and myself arrived in South Africa three days prior and were meant to meet the remainder of the group on the Saturday .Sadly , and totally outside Exodus control’, the flight was cancelled and we meet our two guides at the Airport .Max and Paul took us on impromptu tour of Soweto which proved an excellent experience and was much appreciated. Should we have been advised by Exodus beforehand . We met the rest of the group on Day 2and I was surprised at the make up of the group and the physical ability of one member in particular was questionable from the outset. When completing challenges with other companies , I have always had to complete medical questionnaires including a doctor’s assessment now I am sixty five years of age. It’s beyond me that this gentleman should have been considered for this, at time, challenging adventure. I’m afraid to say his presence impacted the moral of the group and resulted in walks being shortened or omitted all together Accommodation throughout the trip were on the whole satisfactory. There was a few instances where hot water was not available. Food was excellent.Max and Paul catered for us well when their cooking skills were called upon. The only niggle was that too much time spent over the preparation of lunchtime meals when perhaps a self prepared sandwich would have sufficed. I went on the trip primarily as a walking holiday and in our case we missed out on some of these . Such as the fugitive trail, cape Vidal to Mission Rock and the Eswatini walk cut short. A bit disappointing. The group were a very well travelled group having completed many adventures with Exodus . I know that they were also disappointed with the trip Would I do the trip again ?. Yes. For all the shortcomings it was a fascinating insight into a wonderfully beautiful and complex country . I will definitely return to South Africa if the opportunity arises.
