Swaziland - Part one.
This is a top pick! ... a four year old. Once you've sat down (sometimes before) they speed off playing Swazi music at full volume, it's a great experience. Swaziland is one of Africa's richer countries, all Swazi people have a right to land. Yet tourists do create a problem, ...
Swaziland - Part Two
This is a top pick! ... was extinguished at the time). Very good. In the afternoon we drove up to Pigg's Peak, which gives the most amazing views of Swaziland there are, but after about half an hour of driving, cows were appearing not ten yards in front of me out of the ...
The Ezulwini Valley
This is a top pick! We stopped in the valley off the M3 to the M103 where we found the Swazi Cultural Village for a tour of life like it was in the 1900's. Great dancing with very colorful costumes. Some great ...
Four Lakes
This is a top pick! We went north to the corner of the county to see Kosi Bay which is a series of four interlinked lakes coming from the Indian Ocean and mixing with fresh water. Took a boat ride for the day which included going up and down the lakes and over to the beach. ...
Week five - Durban and Swaziland
This is a top pick! ... when they got on in St Lucia and had been abusive. Load mouth Cockney guy eventually quietened down. Crossed border into Swaziland amid dramtic Thunder and Lightning. Got to Sondzela Backpackers between Manzini and the capital Mhabane at about 7.30pm. ...
Tembe Elephant Park
This is a top pick! This was our first major stop back in South Africa---the Tembe Elephant Park. Because of the sand you can only drive a 4X4 into the park, therefore we purchased a all-in-one deal. Lodge, food and 2 game rides---it was great. Tempe was established ...
Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary
This is a top pick! ... , with extensive tin mining in the low foothills of the Nyonyane Mountains, the Sanctuary has been rehabilitated and is now Swaziland's most frequently visited reserve where you can enjoy the beauty of the surroundings and the wildlife that grace the ...
Another Country Swaziland!
This is a top pick! We now continue our move south to Swaziland, which is a mountainous country made up of mostly farming and some parks and local crafts. The capital was like many capitals in small countries not much to see of interest, you need to move to the countryside. ...
Only half guilty your honour
This is a top pick! Speeding is OK - as long as you are only half guilty and it's before lunch time. Not speeding is a crime, punishable by ...
Another day, another country....
This is a top pick! Never one to hang around in one place for long, it was off again - this time to Swaziland, on the way back to Jo'burg for my flight out of SA. I'm staying in a hostel on the Mlilwane Game Reserve, which is great! Yesterday I went for a walk in the ...
Swaziland: where is that ?
This is a top pick! ... an umbrella but most of them just walk in their t-shirt. In the middle of nowhere. Where do they come from ? Where are they going ? Swaziland is even poorer than South-Africa. The houses you see are the 'better' ones. What they call the 'town ships' are ...
Mr Loverman SHAKA!!
This is a top pick! We moved onto the next leg of the journey which was into Swaziland which is a small country completely surrounded by South Africa. We journeyed down in the mystery mobile and came to the border control which was a fort Knox like bastion of security. It ...
Swaziland
Hi!! We are back in civilization, at least for tonight. We drove today from Johannesburg to Swaziland. We are spending a few days with my other friends from Guam, the Blossers. On the way, we did some shopping. Of course, it was a big tourist trap ...
Swaziland
... here was at its best with dips in the swimming pool, dogs to play with, dinner and beds available. Our final views of Swaziland are driving through the really poor rondeval villages on the road out of the country. If you paused for more than a second ...
Zander Fawkes
... off with a bang (if you'll excuse the pun). I managed to track down the only Chinese shop in Swaziland (probably) and bought some sparklers, marshmallows and ludicrously cheap fireworks - some were only 20p! Back at the lodge ...
The orphans of Swaziland
... tour focused on the orphans of the village. As approximately one third of the population is HIV positive, there are many orphans in Swaziland. In this particular village there are over 200. As we entered the village some were there to welcome us. The lady ...
Cheeky Monkeys
... Cape Town. We found it the cheapest and least hassled way of traveling in South Africa. We had a fair bit to go to Swaziland with estimated time of arrival 5pm. We stopped a couple of times in the morning for bathroom and refreshment breaks and reached ...
Speed Demons
Despite not being able to feel the lower half of my body (see yesterday's entry) I went on the cultural quad bike tour anyway. It was great fun zipping through all the villages taking in the view, drinking the local moonshine and learning about ...
Meshack....
...is gone. You might remember that a while back I had to fight to get some more money for the doors and windows to finish the Gogo's house. You might also remember that I asked Meshack to put down everything we needed and repeatedly asked ...
Another New Project
After a couple of days of doing little things - cleaning windows and putting up a set of swings we're finally given a proper new project. An HIV positive woman is recently divorced and as such has nothing to her name except a couple of kids to ...
Zander
Friday - A new backpacker has shown up at the lodge. A guy called Zander from Liverpool who's been living & working in Botswana for a while, seems like a nice guy. Big night on tonight at House on Fire, the best venue in the region. ...
House on Fire
... land and was a kind of modern house on three floors. It had a nice pool and bbq or bria area and a bar outside! Swaziland was a lovely place and had green hills everywhere...there were official taxis to get around so the first day we hired bikes and ...
Helloooooo Swaziland
... they're welcome. After a sunrise hike to see the waterfall, sucking down some fresh alpine air, and a huge feed of bacon, eggs and all the trimmings, it was off to see Swaziland. It was the start of the motif for the trip - "I wish I had more time ...
Ben's First Safari!
I'd stayed on an extra week in Swaziland partly because I didn't want to leave and partly because I wanted to go to the Mkhaya national park - one of the last places you can see the seriously endangered Black Rhino. Sarah and I spent two ...
