Swazi village visits are offering a unique experience for travelers who want to meet the local people in a non touristic environment. We have our home set up in the village of kaPhunga about 55kms away from Manzini town. Here you will have the feeling of living in the village and also with out being an intruder and the people are very friendly as you walk in the village people would be happy to say Sawbona (hello). You can go for Swazi home visit, and see the set up of the Swazi family and make use of your basic siSwati language which your guide would have taught you on the way. You can also visit the local primary school and meet the kids depending if they are busy, usually you will have a chance to tell them where you come from and share what ever information about your country of which they are always very eager to learn and also teach you more about our country Swaziland. An overnight stay is well recommended since you can taste the Swazi traditional food in the evening, sit by the fire and tell some Swazi stories and or some ghosts stories. This offers a wonderful stay in Swaziland and you make friends for life both young and old.

This was an extraordinary experience as to what the daily life of the Hlane community is about, as well as an initiation to the Swazi culture and traditions. We partook in several of the activities, which comprised grinding the maize, braiding wicker baskets, learning some Swazi words and dancing (in separate gender groups). An absolute MUST if one wants to "learn" a little bit more beyond what can be learned in books.

By researching extensively prior to leaving Australia we wanted our friends (19 in total) to experience the best of swazi culture and we were not disappointed. It started with a truly magnificent performance by singers and dancers who took our breath away and then asked some of the young adults present to dance. The finale was the guided walk around the village and then a short walk to the Mantenga Falls. A big yes to add this to your trip in Swaziland.

There are a multitude of other shops and a handcraft market as well as a tea garden serving delicious food and a selection of cakes and coffee/teas etc. A children's playground is available for the young ones.

It is said the candle makers around here use an ancient technique "Millefiori", which surfaced in ancient Alexandria and was later perfected by the glass creators in Murano. The reality is they are beautifully intricate in colour and design. One can actually see one of the candle makers mastering his art prior to heading to the shop that displays a huge variety of candles of all shapes and colours. Once you walk out there are quite a number of other craft shops worth exploring.
