Eswatini (Swaziland) Cultural 1-day Tour

The vast tapestry of African cultures is highlighted as within one hour we are transported from metropolitan Maputo to colourful eSwatini. Swaziland, one of Africa's last "official" monarchies, a small country; almost one valley between two mountain ranges. In this valley a unique, colourful culture emerged, and we will see vividly during our one day trip. The trip includes stops at the Matenga Craft Centre and the Matenga Cultural Village where a lively Swazi dance, complete with booming drums will resonate with you long after your day trip ends. Despite the busy schedule there is a moment of peace and inner reflection at the Mantenga Waterfall. Lunch is enjoyed at the historic Malandela homestead with the neighbouring House on Fire showing that eSwatini's unique identity is still growing and developing. The final stop on the tour is at the famous Swaziland Candle Factory which has now morphed into a hub of craft and arts.
Trip leaves Maputo at 05h30 and returns at the end of the day.
