On this journey the accommodation style is authentic, yet comfortable.
- 2 nights in the bustling Mlilwane main camp, where we stay in ‘beehive huts’, a traditional style hut, but with all the modern facilities. The camp is also home to wildlife such as zebra, warthogs, nyala and many more animals that wander freely between the huts and restaurant.
- 1 night sleep out in a cave in Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary. This is an unforgettable experience and often a highlight for many people. (Very basic facilities available).
- 3 nights at Hlane’s Ndlovu Camp, where we will stay in comfortable rondavels (another traditional style accommodation).
We often hear the lions roar at night, as well as elephants trumpeting not far from camp.
Experience the highlights of Eswatini on this incredible journey that will take you through the highlands as well as the lowveld.
• From the MOUNTAINS to the PLAINS: Witness some of the oldest rock formations in the world. Rolling hills and boulders the size of a double story house is part of the journey here.
On the plains we find wildlife in abundance, ranging from the mighty elephant to the smallest of antelopes.
• HIKING TRAILS: The level of hiking can be adjusted to each group’s desires, but there’s scope for great hikes during this journey.
