2Nights/3Days Eswatini/Swaziland Culture and Heritage Tour
Day 1: All meals-own cost!
Arriving in Swaziland, you are met by our representative at the airport, who will transfer you to a Wildlife Sanctuary. Swaziland’s history is surprisingly long and fascinating for such a small nation. Artifects up to 200 000 years old and ancient rock paintings from approximately 25 000 BC have been found in the country. Swaziland’s first documented inhabitants, Khoisan hunter-gatherers, were eventually displaced by Bantu tribes who migrated from eastern Africa’s Great Lakes area during the 15th and 16th Centuries. In more contemporary times, when the then ruling monarch, King Mswati 11 died in 1982, the Great Council of State selected a young 14-year-old prince to be the next king. He continued his education in England attending Sherbourne School before he was called back to the throne and crowned on 25 April 1986 aged 18 and 6 days! The king and his mother, whose title is Ndlovukati (“Great She-Elephant”), rule jointly.
