About This Tour
The vast tapestry of African cultures is highlighted within one hour we are transported from metropolitan Maputo to colourful eSwatini. Swaziland, one of Africa's last "official" monarchies, a small country; two main valleys between mountain ranges. In one valley a unique, colourful culture emerged, and we will see vividly during our one day trip. The trip includes stops at the Mantenga Cultural Village where a lively Siswati 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 & arts. From the 05h30 Maputo pick-up there is a LOT of driving (~7 hours) until our evening return.
