Swazi Cultural Village in Manzini, Swaziland
Mantenga Nature Reserve and Cultural Village offers travellers to Swaziland the unique twin focus of discovering both Swazi culture and the local natural environment.
Cultural Village - Situated adjacent to the camp the Swazi Cultural Village is a living museum of old traditions and represents a classic Swazi lifestyle during the 1850's. A typical visit includes a 30 minute guided tour and a 45 minute dancing display. It is a great photo opprtunity.
The Mantenga Cultural Village is a large family homestead of sixteen huts, each with its own specific purpose as well as kraals for cattle and goats, reed fences that serve as windbreaks and various other structures. The building material is strictly traditional: poles, grass, reeds, leather stripes, earth and dried cow dung. With the traditional artifacts on display, the village illustrates many facets of the ancient Swazi way of life: social, economic and religious. The objective of the cultural village is to enable visitors from all over the world, as well as urbanised Swazis, to maintain a positive interest in Swazi cultural heritage. This includes language, customs and practices, rituals, dance, music, folklore, arts and crafts. After the its official opening, it was named Ligugu Lemaswati by his Majesty King Mswati III, meaning The pride of the Swazi People.
On entry, the village people, often wearing traditional clothing, will warmly welcome you. The standard Swazi greeting to the family is Yebo Nkosi. The village life is very relaxed and your guide will talk you through how the huts and traditional items are made as well as teach you the Siswati words for them. Interaction is encouraged, so try your hand at grinding maize and plaiting mountain grass or join in a Swazi song or dance. A taste of local food is sometimes possible, as well as traditional brew.
Ringing with the sounds of birds, barking baboons, drum beats and singing, this is one of the best value accommodation venues in Swaziland providing easy access to many surrounding attractions in Mbabane, Malkerns, Manzini, and of course the nearby Ezulwini Valley. Immediately within the nature reserve, the Swazi Cultural Village and the Mantenga Waterfallare popular attractions.
Previously known as Mantenga Tented Camp, this venue has been upgradedduring 2010 to offer rooms or cabins, on a bed and breakfast (B&B) basis. Although its spread out design resembles a typical nature reserve camp, we'd by more inclined to call this style of accommodation a lodge, as it is not self-catering and three meals a day can be sourced via the camp's central restaurant facility.
There is occasional wildlife in the area such as warthog, nyala and vervet monkey which can be spotted whilst walking between the facilities. They are quietly tolerant of human presence.
Although this small 725 hectare area was purchased as early as 1979 by the Swaziland National Trust Commission (a government body) it was only developed from 1994 onwards. Facilities are therefore relatively new and well-presented, with the most recent upgrade, being a substantial investment in terms of both the conversion from tented units to cottages and the very sumptuous furnishing thereof. The management of accommodation facilities and cultural village is typically put out to tender, and is the responsibility of a private sector operator.
The Mantenga area is a favourite launch pad for visitors wishing to undertake Swazi Trails activities, as the reserve is only 1km away from the company's trip departure point for white-water rafting, adventure caving, MTBing and guided tours.

Whitewater paddling in Swaziland
trailblazerguide.com took a weekend trip to Swaziland, and tagged along on a guided rafting trip by Swazi Trails. This video is the result.
IMPORTANT: The footage you see is on a low water level (wintertime). During summer rains this river has a reputation to become HUGE. If this clip convinces you to go paddling in Swaziland, and you go in summer you will get something different to what we show here.
Nobody got hurt, everyone had fun (some people in their boats, some in the water!)
Maybe next time we can sync our schedules with the owner and find out more of the amazing offerings that Swazi Trails have for guided adventures and cultural trips! They offer much more than rafting.

Malolotja Canopy Tour in Swaziland
This cable slide (zipline) adventure took place in Malolotja nature reserve. It was a fantastic feeling to slide from one platform to another. They had 11 elevated forest platforms and 10 different slides. It's almost like flying in a tropical forest high up in the valley! The tour also contains a 50 meter long suspension bridge over the Majolomba river. It took us about 1 hour to do all 10 slides. The views are unforgettable and we want to do it again!

Swaziland and Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary
I was sitting in my hotel room in Johannesburg trying to decide where I should spend the last week I had in Southern Africa. When I looked, Swaziland stuck out to me like a sore thumb. I was so close to the country, I had to go. Thus, I set off on a super quick 3 day trip into Swaziland.
I spent most of my time in Mlilwane Wildelife Sanctuary which is a fairly humble national park in the heart of Swaziland. Though it doesn't have any big animals, it does have lots of antelope including some very rare ones. The part is great because unlike other major national parks in Southern Africa, you can actually get around and do some walking, cycling, and hiking here. With no big predators, there is little risk.
Anyways, after visiting Mlilwane, I headed straight down south across the entire country in a couple hours.

[한국어 정보]
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.

Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary in Ezulwini, Swaziland
Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary is Eswatini's oldest protected area, owned and managed by a non-profit trust.
The sanctuary serves as a headquarters for the Big Game Parks including Mlilwane's sister reserves Hlane Royal National Park and Mkhaya Game Reserve. The Sanctuary covers 4,560 hectares in the Ezulwini Valley or Valley of Heaven. Formerly a farming and tin mining area, the area has been rehabilitated and is now Eswatini's most frequently visited reserve. Abundant wildlife grace the plains. The southern section is predominately open grassland plains with middleveld vegetation, stretching up onto Nyonyane Mountain. Tourist activities are concentrated in the southern section which can be explored by foot, horseback, mountain bikes or vehicle. The northern section includes one of the highest points in the area at Luphohlo. Only guided trails enter this part of the sanctuary. Mlilwane means Little Fire, a reference to the many fires started by lightning strikes on Mlilwane Hill.
Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary is Swaziland’s pioneer conservation area, a shining example of what is possible if passion, vision and action fuse. Once a highly profitable multi-purpose farm, and being labeled an “impossible dream”, Mlilwane was proclaimed in 1961 and is now the kingdom’s most popular eco-destination for locals and internationals alike.
The name 'Mlilwane' ('Little Fire' in siSwati) was derived from the numerous fires started by lightning strikes on the Mlilwane Hill but now holds significance as the little fire that ignited the conservation movement in Swaziland.
Mlilwane’s diverse habitats support a surprisingly extensive species list. Endless hours of guided or self-guided exploration within the small 4560 Ha sanctuary are possible due to the relative absence of dangerous game. The southern plains stretch to the striking Nyonyane Mountain (Execution Rock) with its exposed granite peak. Tourism is concentrated in this southern section of the park, while guided Chubeka Trails explore the northern section, as far as Luphohlo Peak.
Mlilwane’s Rest Camp offers a range of affordable accommodation with self-catering and catered options available. Alternatives within Mlilwane include Sondzela Backpackers 2 km to the south, luxurious Reilly's Rock Hilltop Lodge and Down Gran’s Self-Catering Cottage a short 3km to the north of Rest Camp.
All Activities depart from our Activities Centre at Reception, with detailed maps on sale. The Hippo Haunt Restaurant and Swimming pool with summerhouses provide the opportunity for true relaxation. Day Visitors are welcome to self-drive and picnic at Rest Camp, visit the restaurant or take part in activities until 18h00.
Situated between Mbabane and Manzini, with 24-hour access to the Sanctuary, guests are free to enjoy the neighbouring tourist hubs of Ezulwini and Malkerns, with their many unique attractions and craft shops.
Nyonyane Mountain is where ancient San or Bushmen people once lived and where Swazi Royal graves are situated. This gives it great historical significance. Behind these mountains, the stunning Mantenga waterfall and beautiful Usushwana Valley form the divide, before stretching up to northern section, which includes one of the highest surrounding points at Luphohlo. Tourist activities are concentrated in the southern section, with only guided trails entering the pristine mountains of the north.
Mlilwane means Little Fire, being derived from the numerous fires started by lightning strikes on the Mlilwane Hill. Many a colourful tale can be told about the Reilly Family, with special relevance to the early pioneer Mickey Reilly, whose family still manages and lives on the Sanctuary.
