Best of Swaziland: Day 1

We all get together at the Shell Ultra city in Middleburg (On the N4 just after the Toll gate) at 9:00 where we have a quick chat and install two-way radios into all the participating vehicles. The road will take us through the towns of Carolina; Badplaas and then a scenic drive to the border at border at Belembu. On entering Swaziland the road takes us onto Piggs Peak. Once through Piggs Peak the Scenic drive continues, past Maguga dam and onto the Malolotja Nature Reserve. We settle into our cosy chalets before an afternoon drive to the top of “Devils claw” for some fun and games before we enjoy a beautiful sunset and the mandatory sundowners. When we arrive back at camp our specialist bush chef will have a lavish dinner prepared for all to enjoy

After a sumptuous breakfast, we head off to explore Swaziland. Our 4x4 route will take us past Maguga Dam, Mission falls and Sibebe rock (the world largest exposed granite dome).

During the day we have a whole lot of fun and activities for all to enjoy. Prizes will be on offer for the Ladies that fair the best.

The trail continues through the “wash basin” before we make our way back to the Malolotja Nature Reserve. Tonight we enjoy one more evening under another blissful starry African sky.
