"Swaziland" Swaziland by africaking

Swaziland, a country surrounded by South Africa and Mozambique.

One of the few remaining kingdoms in Africa, their currency being the elamangeni (1 ilamangeni is exactly the same as a 1 pound coin).

Once under the rule of the Zulu kings, Swazilands own king turned to Queen Victoria for assistance in ridding his kingdom of the Zulu's, and the old lady came through for them, still a kingdom today.

Unfortunatly the roads in Swaziland are in a real bad condition, I believe there are one or two roads that are actually tared, only cause the King travels these roads.

"it's hard when you're running on fumes"

Swazi game reserve is strange to say the least, it is rather small, but then again so is Swaziland, anywhere you go in the reserve you will see animals, even the petrol station!

• Pros:Relaxed, friendly locals, beautiful scenery
• Cons:petty theft, bad roads
• In a nutshell:The Switzerland of Africa
