Malolotja Nature Reserve

With 26 waterfalls, hills and pristine forests, the reserve offers top scenery and opportunity to see numerous animals and rare birds.

Reviewed By MartinHerbst - Johannesburg, South Africa

The Malolotja Reserve has it's own unique beauty compared to the other SNTC or BGP reserves in the country. The canopy tour is highly recommended. Cost is E695 per person which includes a bottle of water afterwards as well as sandwiches at the restaurant. The trip is well organised, extremely safe and well worth it for the views. Total time approximately 3 hours. Highly recommended.

Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary

Reviewed By 400kayl - Kaohsiung, Taiwan

LOCATION   Conveniently located near the capital of Eswatini Mbabane, this wildlife reserve has abundant birdlife and a modest collection of grazers. The crocs and hippos seem to be evasive, which perhaps is sometimes a good thing. Adult ticket entrance fee is 40E.    HISTORY   Ted Reilly in 1961 installed the countrys’ first hydropump, thus becoming the first location with electricity. His original residence has been preserved and functions now as a lodge at the top of Reilly’s Rock Hilltop.   ACTIVITIES   The reserve is small and easy to access most areas by car. There are a few roads going to the rocky hills which require 4x4, but provide no greater advantage in terms of animal sightings. We visited on a weekend day for about 3-4 hours, which gave more than enough time to navigate and circumvate the area while gawking at the warthogs, zebra, impalas, kudus and nyalas.   Safari tours, horseriding, swimming, biking, walking trails and other activities are available. Camp sites, Beehive huts available for accommodation. There is a curio shop at the campsite and a lovely picnic area with bbq facilities. The outdoor pool has a shallow and deep end (2m), a perfect place to splash after the heat and sun outdoors.    FOOD   (See review on Hippo Haunt Restaurant.) Hippo Pool is a awesome place to relax amongst chirping birds and the fishes (catfish, barbell, bream) and terrapin wading near the decks.   SUMMARY   Family-friendly wildlife resort/camp with many activities for any Sunday drive or a few days with nature.

Sibebe Rock

Reviewed By SwatiGuru

A highlight of any visit to eSwatini. A decent walk (around 10km) from the bottom or a far more relaxed walk from the resort at the top. Beautiful hills and rocks and many streams in the area make this walk all about the wind in your hair and birds chirping. Rolling green hills (except in winter) and massive boulders and expansive views are what Sibebe is all about! Take a picnic and spend hours away from the rat race!

5. The Lobamba Trail

Main Road, Mbabane H100 Eswatini (Swaziland) + 268 -416 5000 [email protected] http://www.suninternational.com/Destinations/Resorts/RoyalSwaziSpaValley/FacilitiesActivities/Pages/LocalAttractions.aspx
