Our Guide will pick you up at your hotel in Maputo (please organize a packed breakfast from your hotel).

Visits include Swazi Secrets, Mantenga Craft Center and Guava Gallery to view Swazi jewellery and art, then on to Mantenga Cultural Village, where you will appreciate the history and culture of the legendary Swazi Nation. To the beat of echoing cowhide drums, traditional Swazi dancing is performed by a talented group of dancers in a nearby boma. An optional short walk can be taken to the waterfall that holds much bird and wildlife.



You will also visit the arts & craft attractions at Malandela’s Homestead or Gone Rural, House of Fire and the Swazi Candle Factory where clients can view the decorative art of candle making, after which you will make the return journey home via Goba.
