Day 1: Malolotja Nature ReserveThe
Malolotja Nature Reserve on the first day. Here is where you will spend the night, but first, you will check in around 11 am, and then we will go for a nice hike for about 4 hours. This park is an amazing place to unwind and enjoy the fresh air of the mountains.

Day 2: City Tour
We leave the park right after breakfast to go on our road trip along the Ngwenya border crossing, where we will find the Ngwenya glass- this is a recycling company using glass collected by the community. These guys are highly skilled in Glass blowing. It would be great to see the artists at work.
After watching the glass blowing, you can meander around the gift shops and choose gifts for people at home.
Drive down towards the capital city and walk around the city, this is a small place but very pleasant, we will find a place to have coffee before going to visit the local market around, or we can just walk around the city to have a good feel of it. We find a local joint and find some Traditional Swazi food.
Overnight at the Lodge.
Day 3: Manzini Sightseeing
Hotel- 3-4 Star, very high standards of accommodations. You will be picked up in the morning from your hotel and driven along the Valley to go and visit the following attractions: Historical Museum, Swazi Candles, and Manzini Market.
The historical museums also showcase the late King Sobhuza II and all his good deeds. Swazi Candles is where the handmade candles are. You will have a look around and see how it’s made, and also visit the stalls and shops within the complex.
Manzini market is a nice, fun market. It’s very small and much laid back. After spending some time in the market, we will head off to the village, which is about 1hr 20 minutes' easy drive, climbing up the windy roads.
When we get home, we will have a light lunch and sit down in the hut and have a discussion about the Swaziland culture, and also look at non-Swazi culture. Village accommodation- Very Simple and comfortable traditional accommodation where you will be staying tonight.
