Epic Road Trip to Eswatini: Discover the Cultural Wonders of This African Kingdom

Come along on our journey to the enchanting Kingdom of Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland! This tiny nation nestled amidst Southern Africa and Mozambique is a place filled with rich cultural heritage and stunning scenery, offering a glimpse into the past and a warm embrace of the present.
We road-tripped from Johannesburg to the capital of Mbabane, getting the unique experience of crossing the border by land. The next day we set out to explore the cultural highlights, starting with the renowned Swazi Candles. Next, we ventured to the Mantenga Cultural Village, a mesmerizing recreation of traditional Swazi villages from the 1850s, and were enthralled by the exceptional performances of the Sibahle Ngemasiko Cultural Group. Before bidding farewell to the kingdom, we made our way to Ngwenya Glass, where hand-blown glass creations were another highlight of our short trip.
