Swaziland Vacations, Swaziland Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

The Kingdom of Swaziland is a small country of just over 1,000,000 inhabitants in Southern Africa, sharing borders with South Africa and Mozambique. Despite its small size, however, Swaziland offers plenty to see and is definitely worth a stop if traveling in the region. The main draw here is the country's well-protected game reserves and national parks, including the Mkhaya Game Reserve, Mlilwane Game Reserve, and Hlane Royal National Park. These parks are particularly famous for their rhino herds, animals which are either rare or nonexistent in many other African parks.

A trip in August also gives one the opportunity to experience the world famous Reed Dance (Umhalanga) that takes place annually.

Most importantly though, Swaziland is also known for its people, widely considered to be among the friendliest in all of Africa. Despite issues with poverty, land ownership, and the world's highest AIDS rate, the people of Swaziland are amazing hosts.
