Swaziland!

Why go...One of the last absolute monarchies in the world!  Swaziland embraces and retains their ancient traditions, and they also have a reputation for being friendly!  


Reed Dance Cultural Festival!  Girls come from all over the country to sing and dance for the Queen!  Lots of pageantry!

Mantenga Cultural Village!  A living history museum of a traditional Swazi homestead; you can try in grinding grain etc!


Craft markets!


See rhinos, elephants, and hippos, (Oh my!) in one of Swaziland's national reserve parks!



Phophonyane Falls Ecolodge.  You can stay in their beautiful, Swazi-style "bee hive" rooms!

Riley's Rock Lodge.  You can wander through the botanical gardens that surround the lodge and feel like you're on an episode of Murder, She Wrote!  The lodge also takes guests on all kinds of awesome safaris!
