Sport & Activities
Wildlife safaris
Guided safaris (either by car on on foot) are available in Swaziland’s nature reserves and game parks (see Resorts & Excursions section). The Milwane Wildlife Sanctuary can also be toured on horseback. Despite its small size, Swaziland offers an interesting variety of terrains and animal species. Prices tend to be lower than in neighbouring South Africa. Whitewater rafting trips are available on the Great Usutu River in the Mkhaya Game Reserve.
Hiking
Popular hikes include the ascent to Malolotsha Falls at Piggs Peak; Sibebe Mountain, a huge granite outcrop that provides a scenic spot for a picnic; and the climb up Emlembe, Swaziland’s highest peak.
General
There is an 18-hole golf course in the Ezulwini Valley attached to the Royal Swazi Sun Hotel and Spa and the Havelock Golf Course. Tennis courts are available at numerous major hotels, notably the Royal Swazi. Several hotels have swimming pools and non-residents are generally permitted to use the facilities.
