Swaziland

3 Day Swaziland Fly In Safari

Take the opportunity and get up close to the wildlife of Swaziland. This 3 day Fly In Safari to Swaziland offers guests a great opportunity to get a taste of Swaziland’s wildlife and cultural heritage. It can be done on a self drive basis or fly in - for the purposes of this itinerary we have started and ended the trip at Manzini Airport, so flights can be added if necessary.

Day 01 - Manzini to Mkhaya Game Reserve

Today you will fly Johannesburg to Manzini where you will be met and transferred to Mkhaya Game Reserve for (2) nights on a fully inclusive basis.

Privately owned and run, this upmarket reserve is the gem of Swaziland’s heritage. Accommodation in unforgettable style is offered in classic, spacious safari tents. Fully furnished, with or without en suite facilities and individually placed in cool riverine forest, these units are likely to bring visitors closer to nature than ever before. “Closer to Nature” is the main focus of this reserve and its no-nonsense approach to providing the genuine feeling of Africa, is becoming ever more popular with people sick of over commercialisation and loss of real Africa. All travel within the reserve is by open landrover or on foot with bush-hardened Swazi rangers. Wildlife is abundant and even with short visits our highly skilled trackers get visitors closer to white rhino, elephant, hippo, giraffe, buffalo, crocodile, roan, sable and various other animals and birds than people are ever likely to get elsewhere. However, without doubt, the feature of Mkhaya is the opportunity to see black rhino in the wild. Nowhere else in Africa does a visitor have as good a chance of photographing this endangered animal. People also have the opportunity to get closer to each other. With camp capacity limited to low numbers and with all meals cooked over a central log fire in traditional Swazi style, visitors often talk into the early hours of the morning. Your Swazi hosts are always willing to share their experiences and culture and with little encouragement will demonstrate the Sibhaca dancing and ingrained musical talent.

Day 02 - On safari at Mkhaya Game Reserve, Swaziland

Today will include game tracking by open landrover, guided walks, waterhole stake-outs, sundowners and a night drive by spotlight. This game reserve is well-known for its international programmes to protect the Black Rhino from extinction. After dinner we will be entertained with traditional Sibhaca Dancing. (Depending on staff availability)

Day 03 - Mkhaya back to Manzini Airport

After a memorable two nights in the most exclusive game reserve in Swaziland, you will be transferred to Manzini Airport for your flight back to Johannesburg.
