Although attractions in Mbabane itself remain scarce, this capital of the Kingdom of Swaziland provides a picturesque setting, pleasant weather, and plenty of amenities for tourists exploring the nation's mountains, forests, and valleys.Explore Mbabane's surroundings by going to Manzini (Mantenga Cultural Village & Mantenga Nature Reserve), Sheba's Breast Mountain (in Lobamba) and Happy Valley Casino (in Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary). There's still lots to do: look for gifts at Swazi Candles, identify plant and animal life at Malolotja Nature Reserve, browse the eclectic array of goods at Traditional Swazi Craft Markets, and take in the awesome beauty at Sibebe Rock.

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.
