About Eswatini

Types of Eswatini visas?
1. Transit visa
- All visa applicants must state in their application that they will transit through the country, and there must be a clear reason why the country is being used as a transit zone.
- Those who do not specify will be returned to the point of entry they used to enter Eswatini if they do not do so.
2. Visa upon arrival
- The granting of visas on arrival should be suspended following the present piloting of e-visa issuance in the Kingdom of Eswatini, as it clearly does not comply with the provisions of the visa issuance system given by the Government Terminal System.
- Before going on a journey to the Kingdom of Eswatini, all people intending to enter the nation should get a visa and have it affixed to their passport.
Best place to visit Eswatini
1. Lobamba
It shares the title with Mbabane down the valley, but it is here that visitors will find all of the state’s machinery: the gorgeous Lozitha Palace, which houses the Queen Mother; the Swaziland Parliament; and the honorific memorials to the country’s freedom hero, King Sobhuza.

2. Mbuluzi Game Reserve
You’ll most likely end yourself at the famed Mbuluzi Game Reserve, which is located in Swaziland’s far north-eastern regions.

3. Mbabane
Mbabane is home to only 95,000 people, which should give you some idea of the size of Swaziland as a whole. Even though it sits more than 1,200 meters up in the Mdzimba Mountains, this town of low-rise bungalows and palm-dotted alleys is the official capital.

4. Malkerns
Malkerns, a tiny village in the shadow of the eastern Swaziland mountains, is a lovely place to spend a couple of days.

5. Mantenga
Once upon a time, the magnificent areas surrounding Mantenga’s town were known solely for their waterfalls, which, to be honest, are among the country’s most spectacular.
