Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) presents thrilling opportunities for wildlife observation. The country boasts the presence of all of the Big Five, though they are not all found in a single park. Mkhaya presents a unique safari experience, making it an ideal spot to encounter the endangered black rhino and the sole Cape buffalo in the nation. Hlane is a destination brimming with the thrill of encountering lions, white rhinos, and elephants.

Exciting Encounters with Nature

Eswatini offers a fantastic opportunity to encounter some of the most fascinating antelope species. All the parks feature fenced sanctuaries for threatened species, ensuring their protection, while free-roaming lions are absent from these areas. The rare sable antelope is thriving in Mkhaya, showcasing its remarkable breeding success. Other majestic species you can discover here include roan, Livingstone’s eland, and tsessebe.

Optimal Moments for Observing Wildlife
Eswatini presents an exhilarating opportunity for wildlife viewing all year round. Numerous flagship species reside in spacious enclosures, allowing for effortless observation. During the dry months from June to September, the opportunity to spot some of the smaller creatures is at its peak, as the bush becomes less dense. August to September is a delightful period when the warmth of the season draws creatures to the refreshing water sources, creating a vibrant scene full of life.
