Valley of Heaven
Removed from the bigger and busier parts of the country, Ezulwini Valley represents a quiet place where visitors can relax but at the same time discover the wildlife that spreads across this region.Your list of things to see and do now includes Lion Cavern, Mantenga Craft & Lifestyle Centre, Ngwenya Glass, and other attractions. Explore hidden gems such as Ngwenya Mine and Yebo Contemporary Art Gallery Eswatini. Get some historical perspective at Mantenga Cultural Village and All Saints Cathedral. Get out of town with these interesting Ezulwini side-trips: Sibebe Rock (in Mbabane) and Mantenga Nature Reserve (in Manzini). There's still lots to do: try your luck at Happy Valley Casino, look for all kinds of wild species at Malolotja Nature Reserve, explore the landscape on two wheels at Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, and get engrossed in the history at National Museum.
To see where to stay, photos, and other tourist information, refer to the Ezulwini travel route planner.
In May, plan for daily highs up to 74°F, and evening lows to 49°F. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 6th (Wed) early enough to drive to Piggs Peak.

Eswatini (Swaziland) travel guide
Landlocked Swaziland remains one of the few absolute monarchies in the world--it's also one of the smallest countries in Africa. Known for its peacefulness and welcoming atmosphere, the country doesn't rush past you (even in the most built-up areas) like some of its neighbors. This laidback atmosphere suits the country, where age-old traditions are practiced in an everyday, rather than a made-for-tourists way. Aside from these singular characteristics, the country matches its better-known neighbors in terms of protected savannah landscapes rich in wildlife, the focal point for tourism in Swaziland.
