"I went to Swaziland to do the assessments* for our Bed and Breakfast Collection 2010 and was so taken by the awesome scenery, the fabulous friendly people and all the things to do.
To my surprise, most of the guest houses said that visitors to Swaziland tend to use it as a one night stop to get from Mpumalanga to KZN (or vice versa) which is such a shame. There is lots to do and lots to see ranging from Big Five reserves, to arts and crafts – some specific to Swaziland such as the NgwenyaGlass Factory where they blow the glass and have a fabulous shop on site, and the Swazi Candles Centre.
The Swazi basket weavers are quite different to any other as well. There are casinos, hiking trails, trout fishing, golf courses, white river rafting and a myriad of exciting things to experience.We have some charming guest houses and game lodges in Swaziland – all whom offer first class hospitality – Do yourself a favour and stop over for a few days. Take time to relax and enjoy the moment.It’s worth every minute!"
