Sibebe Rock in Mbabane, Swaziland
Sibebe Rock in Mbabane, Swaziland
Sibebe is a granite mountain in Eswatini, located 10 km from the capital city Mbabane. It is the second-largest monolith in the world and the largest exposed granite pluton, rising 350m above the valley of the Mbuluzi River. It is also known as 'Bald Rock'.
Sibebe Rock, just north of Mbabane, is one of southern Africa’s most impressive geological features. This immense three-billion-year-old volcanic slab, which rises to a height of 1,488m and covers some 16,500ha, is the world’s largest granite dome. Only Australia’s Uluru pips it to the title of ‘world’s largest rock’. Uluru is actually an eroded sandstone inselberg – in other words, formed of layers of sediment. Sibebe, by contrast, is a batholith: it welled up through the earth’s crust in one great molten bubble before cooling to form a massif of sheer granite.
It is hard to appreciate the scale of Sibebe from below. That’s partly because there is no single spot from which the whole rock is visible. The best way to see it is, of course, to climb it.
On top, you will find a wonderland of huge sculpted boulders and gleaming slopes of exfoliating granite. Trails radiate in all directions, leading to caves, waterfalls and hidden pockets of indigenous forest. There is even a large meadow where – amazingly – a small population of wild horses roams the lush grazing. The flora is impressive, with orchids and other wild flowers carpeting the grasslands from October to December, and wild bananas (Strelitzia nicolai) fluttering their tattered, flag-like leaves in the forested clefts. You might also spot highveld birds, such as jackal buzzard, buff-streaked chat, ground woodpecker and – if you’re lucky – even a Verreaux’s eagle or blue swallow. But remember that this is Swazi Nation Land, not a nature reserve. You will also meet wandering cattle and their herdboys, and on the eastern slopes you’ll spy the small homesteads of those who live up here.

흐렸던 날씨가 바람이 불면서 구름을 몰고 간다. 계곡의 물줄기를 따라 거슬러 올라가면 멀리 폭포가 보인다. 만뎅가 폭포는 웅장하진 않지만 스와질란드에서 두 번째로 큰 폭포다. 우기철이라 날씨가 서늘해서 한적하다. 규모는 크지 않지만 물이 부족한 이곳에서 이 폭포가 스와질란드 사람들에게 얼마나 큰 기쁨일까 생각하니 참 거대하게 보였다.

Hvar noticed the weather is going to drive the wind blowing the clouds. Dating back along the stream valley of the waterfall seems far away. Only dengga Falls is the second largest waterfall in Swaziland, but not spectacularly. During the rainy season it is quiet because the weather is cool it. Although this scale is a significant lack of water falls from here Is How much do you think people great joy that Swaziland was indeed enormously.

바로 근처에 커다란 돌산인 시베베가 우뚝 서있다. 시베베란 뜻은 현지어로 대머리 산이란 뜻인데 세계에서 가장 큰 바위산이기도 하다. 비가 내려 바닥이 미끄러운 때는 사람들이 별로 안 찾는단다. 나는 돌산에 올라가 보기로 했다. 산 초입에는 불에 타다만 나무 밑동이처럼 생긴 리딘스 라는 풀들이 자생하고 있다. 등산로가 따로 있는 것도 아니고 가파른 곳에 밧줄 하나 없는데도 가이드는 잘도 오른다. 스파이더맨 처럼 바위가 미끄러워 몸을 최대한 바위에 밀착해 올라가야만 한다. 잠깐의 휴식, 밑이 까마득하다. 그리고 산 정상까지는 기어서 2시간 반을 더 올라야한단다. 결국 아쉽지만 포기하기로 했다. 힘들기도 했지만 바닥이 미끄러워 자칫 사고도 날 수 있기 때문이었다.

Afryka. Suazi. Sibebe Rock, największa granitowa góra Afryki.
Suazi. Swaziland. Zdobywamy Sibebe Rock. Góra jest po prostu imponująca! Jest to drugi co do wielkości, po australijskim Ayers Rock, granitowy głaz na ziemi. A jego wystająca ponad ziemię część jest nawet większa od australijskiej! Ale najpierw zajrzymy do Mbabane, stolicy kraju, i pobuszujemy po tamtejszym targowisku. Uwaga! Spotkamy również czarnoskórych karateków.
Top 10 Things to See and Do in Swaziland
In the summer of 2013, I visited the African country of Swaziland, also known as the Kingdom of Eswanti, which is a tiny, landlocked principality that borders Mozambique and South Africa.
My Film Making Kit ►
Even though it’s small, it’s incredibly diverse. I want to take you on a tour of the top 10 things you have to see and do when you go there. Are you ready to come along with me? Let’s get started.
Mbuluzi, a private game reserve that boasts an amazing number of grazing animals like giraffes, impala, zebra, kudu and nyala. It is roughly 3,000 hectares in area and borders the Lubombo Mountains, Mlawula Nature Reserve and Hlane Royal Park. Mbuluzi doesn’t contain any predators, so it’s safe to drive, walk, or cycle through the park without the supervision of a guide, although you can reserve a game drive with a guide if you want.
Sibebe Rock, the second largest monolith in the world after Uluru in the Northern Territory of Australia, and one of Swaziland’s iconic attractions. It towers over 350 meters above the valley of the Mbuluzu River and was named after a rock climber who tragically lost his life scaling the rock.
Shewula Mountain Camp, Swaziland’s first community-owned eco-tourism attraction. This beautiful and unique camp, set in the Shewula Nature Reserve, offers village walks that allow visitors to get to know the local community and residents, witness traditional song and dance performances, visit a local healer, and enjoy the natural beauty of the reserve.
Swazi Candles Craft Market, a unique shopping center containing gift shops and boutiques that showcase the craftsmanship of local artisans, including wood carvers, basket weavers, jewelers, and mask makers. In the market’s namesake shop, Swazi Candles, you can buy colorful paraffin wax candles that have been molded and sculpted, by hand, into various animal shapes.
Swazi Trails is the only white water rafting tour operator in the country, and therefore this adventure is the only one of its kind in Swaziland. A trained Swazi Trails river guide will accompany you for either a half day or full day, depending on which package you buy, and no prior experience is needed on your part.
Hlane Royal National Park, the largest game park in Swaziland. The park covers roughly 85 square miles and features four of the Big 5 safari animals: elephants, rhinos, leopards, and my favorite, lions, like this guy I had to wake up super early to catch! It was also amazing to come across so many rhinos during my game drives.
Ngwenya Glass Factory in the town of Motshane. It is regarded as the most prestigious glass factory in Africa. Here, you can watch the professionals make beautiful and intricate glass creations, including decorative bowls, wine glasses, chess sets, and animals like whales, fish, gazelles and even the Big 5.
Mantenga Cultural Village, which features Swaziland’s top traditional song and dance show and is located in the beautiful Mantenga Falls Nature Reserve. After enjoying the traditional harmonies and energetic dances, you can tour a reconstruction of an 1850s Swazi hut village and learn about the tradition diet, customs, and family structure from local guides.
Mkhaya Game Reserve, one of Swaziland’s big game parks. Here, you can find a wide variety of wildlife, including black and white rhinos, elephants, giraffes, sable antelope, and buffalo. While the white rhino is endangered in Africa, Mkhaya is the best place in Swaziland to see one. The accommodations here are incredible.
Umhlanga Reed Dance, a fascinating, eight-day long cultural event that takes place at the Queen Mother’s Royal Residence, during which tens of thousands of the nation’s unmarried women cut reeds and carry them back to the Royal Residence, where they are used as windbreakers for the perimeter. The seventh day of the reed festival is a national holiday, and is when the king participates and thousands of spectators come out to see the women dance and celebrate the Queen Mother.
And there you have it! The top ten things you must see and do when you go to Swaziland. I hope you enjoyed this video, and that it inspired you to visit this amazing country.
