On adventure tours you’ll get taken into the kingdom of Eswatini to experience a new culture, exciting crafts and an abundance of wildlife and breathtaking scenery.
In Eswatini you can go on safari and stay at the Mlilwane wildlife sanctuary, which was a pioneering location in the fight against poaching. You can wake up in the morning to find zebra, impala and warthog walking past your front door, or take a dip in the pool with an ostrich watching your every move. If you want to make a real difference and like the idea of going to volunteer in Africa, there are some really special volunteer opportunities in Eswatini.
Another highlight is hippo feeding which allows you to watch hippos from as close as two metres away. Hiking to Execution rock is an unforgettable experience which provides breathtaking scenery and a chance to spot, and walk with wildlife along the way.
There is a natural warm spring alongside the river where you can enjoy privacy, peace and tranquility in the African bush. Eswatini is the craft capital of Africa and there are kilometers of market stalls and shops to explore.
