About Eswatini

Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, is a small, landlocked country in Southern Africa, bordered by Mozambique to the northeast and South Africa on all other sides. Known for its rich cultural heritage, Eswatini is one of the few remaining absolute monarchies in the world, with King Mswati III serving as the head of state. The country is renowned for its vibrant traditional festivals, such as the Umhlanga (Reed Dance) and Incwala, which celebrate Swazi culture and unity. Despite its small size, Eswatini boasts diverse landscapes, ranging from lush mountains and valleys to savannas and rivers. However, the nation faces significant challenges, including high rates of HIV/AIDS and economic inequality. Agriculture, particularly sugar production, plays a vital role in the economy, alongside mining and manufacturing. Eswatini’s warm hospitality, stunning scenery, and deep-rooted traditions make it a unique and fascinating destination.
