Weather

Weather shifts through genuine seasons here, from July's cool stretch to January's warmth, with rain a little heavier around January and lighter around June — real variation, but nothing as sharp as a true monsoon or Mediterranean dry season. In July, expect highs around 26°C with rain on roughly 1 day of the month.

Things to Do

The Hlane and Mkhaya game reserves are the country's main wildlife draws.

Local Cuisine

Try sishwala (maize porridge) with a meat stew, a Swazi everyday staple.
