    About Eswatini

    Eswatini is a small landlocked kingdom in Southern Africa, bordered by South Africa and Mozambique. One of the world's few remaining absolute monarchies, it is renowned for its living Swazi culture — the Umhlanga Reed Dance and the Incwala kingship ceremony — alongside wildlife-rich reserves like Hlane Royal National Park and Mkhaya Game Reserve, dramatic mountain scenery in the Ezulwini and Malkerns valleys, and warm, welcoming communities.
