A warm welcome, hearty hospitality and secure travelling throughout the country conspire to make your stay special and unforgettable. If you are interested in plants, hiking, adventure holidays, handcrafts, pleasant accommodation, excellent restaurants, exciting sightseeing or simply relaxing at the pool side – Swaziland does not disappoint. Read on and discover your African dream holiday.

A CALL FOR HELP

Unfortunately Summertime is the time of snake bites. Many people become victims of snake bites in the lowveld - especially children are in great danger. Thea Litschka-Koen and her husband Clifton Koen try to help as much as possible but are very limited due to the lack of life- saving antivenoms. If you can help please contact Thea on: 00268 7602 5088. Any help is welcome - toys for the children - bandages - Children books . . . or send a mail to the editor
