Mbabane Travel Guide

Beautiful valley with the Royal Swazi Spa: hotel, golf course, casino and natural hot springs.

If you want to hear an interesting story, ask a local to tell you about the "muti" and the carnivorous trees of Swaziland.

Keep your car doors locked at all time! Mbabane is one of the most dangerous cities in the world, so be alert at all time and don't leave your vehicle unattended.

The Swazi capital is a bit of a quaint charged place ... on the one hand you have highly traditional set-ups (including the king in his Swazi costume and his string of wives and concubines) and on the other hand, glitzy night bars (with tourists, casinos, pole dancers and hookers) ... do visit the museum where you will get a glimpse of traditional Swazi dwellings and history...

Mbabane is not very nice, its a normal african black city,

Gotta go to the why Not

Watch out for traffic. Traffic can be crazy in town

The game reserves in Swaziland are a lot smaller and less touristed than those in S. Africa.  I really enjoyed visiting them.  You can walk parts of the reserves, but be sure to get off the path if you see a hippo! There are also accommodations just outside the parks, even for the budget challenged. 

Go visit the traditional swazi village, its near the Legends hostel. There is dance show twice every day.
