RELAXED AND ARTY

Chill, casual and friendly, that is how you can describe this administrative capital of Swaziland. Mbabane may be the capital, but that does not mean that this city is comparable to other cities. This city is more like a village with a lot of charm. This administrative capital is also not far from the legal capital of Swaziland. Lobamba is the cultural centre, here you will find the national museum and the archive and also the national stadium. The king also has his palace here. Not far from here is his former village, where people still live in beehive huts.

The temperature here is often very pleasant, which gives you the energy to stroll along the markets in search of some nice arts and crafts. In this artistic city, you can visit nice art galleries in search of a nice print as a reminder of this beautiful country!

NIGHT OUT

Mbabane is a nice town to stroll around during the day, but do you want to experience a good night out? Then you’d better go to Ezulwini, not far from Mbabane. In this valley, you can experience a small Vegas night. Here you will find restaurants, hotels and casinos. Blackjack, poker or even better, you can spread your chances of winning at the roulette table. And the next morning, you can use your well-earned money to play a round of golf on the golf course here. And maybe you will see some wildlife next to the course as you hit that hole in one!

THE DUNES IN SOSSUSVLEI

Namibia is one of the countries with the highest dunes in the world. Namibia's vast desert consists for a large part of bright orange dune landscape. In the Sossusvlei, a clay valley on the west side of the country, you will find a number of famous dunes to climb, where you can also take the most beautiful photos. The most visited dune is Dune 45, but if you don't want your Instagram photo to include photobombing, puffing and sweating tourists, it's best to skip this one. Nearby is the Big Daddy, with 350 metres the biggest dune on the block.
