Swazi to Zululand Adventure

Kwazulu Natal Day 1:
We depart from Johannesburg via the Kingdom of Swaziland.

Swaziland is one of the few remaining true Monarchies of the world and King Mswati III still holds all political power.

Once we are in Swaziland the scenery is spectacular and travelling is slow because the road is windy and terrain mountainous.
We will stop at a large roadside craft market for an opportunity to browse, buy and watch crafters at work. Our route goes via the capital, Mbabane, and then into the mountainous countryside where our country hotel is set in an extensive forest. Accommodation: Foresters Arms Hotel Meals: B & D
