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.
