Travel Tips

In Manzini there is a market that has all the crafts you can find in other places but is realy only half as expensive or even cheaper. It is super recommended for those who want to buy crafts! The market is open on weekdays but not weekends.

Scams & Warnings

We had a bad experience in Swaziland. We were on the road after it had started to become dark. It wasn't too late, maybe at about 18:30. We passed a place called Piggy's Peak and had to slow down speed. Suddenly, a young man carrying a stone approached and tried to get it under the wheel of our car. We managed to speed up immediately and this man did not succeed. We just wanted to let you know in order to warn other travellers.
