Our Next Adventure (retro) - Beehive Huts in Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, Eswatini (Swaziland)
Highly recommend visiting Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary. Great balance between comfort and wilderness. Meaning, this isn't a resort first with a tourist's safari experience. This IS a game reserve.
With no predators, a definite highlight is renting a mountain bike and cycling freely around the park. It is amazing to zip down a dirt road and come face to face with a herd of wild Kudu.
Mlilwane Wild Life Sanctuary, Swaziland - Canon HD - Virtual Trip
The Mlilwane wildlife sanctuary is one of the three main animal reserves of the Kingdom of Swaziland. To recall, there are:
The Hlane for the lions
The Mkhaya for its Rhinoceros
And finally the Mlilwane wildlife sanctuary which is a rare park where you can walk freely (due to the absence of predators). We come here mainly to rest, to enjoy a typically African landscape, with its many Acacia tortilis (a kind of natural umbrella!), Its zebras and impalas that wander around, and which make this decoration a real postcard. Hypopothames and crocodiles can also be found near the largest pond.
If we did the Kruger just before, the place will not seem exceptional either, however it is a real haven.

Swaziland - Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary
The Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary is a small sanctuary in Swaziland. It is possible to walk in it.
We visited the sanctuary on our overland trip from the Netherlands to South Africa.
Swaziland and Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary
I was sitting in my hotel room in Johannesburg trying to decide where I should spend the last week I had in Southern Africa. When I looked, Swaziland stuck out to me like a sore thumb. I was so close to the country, I had to go. Thus, I set off on a super quick 3 day trip into Swaziland.
I spent most of my time in Mlilwane Wildelife Sanctuary which is a fairly humble national park in the heart of Swaziland. Though it doesn't have any big animals, it does have lots of antelope including some very rare ones. The part is great because unlike other major national parks in Southern Africa, you can actually get around and do some walking, cycling, and hiking here. With no big predators, there is little risk.
Anyways, after visiting Mlilwane, I headed straight down south across the entire country in a couple hours.

Africa - Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary - March 2021
The beautiful history of Mlilwane and their role in protecting our precious wildlife, has made the tiny Kingdom of eSwatini a nature lovers paradise! We visit Mlilwane often, and each time we find something new to appreciate. You can feel the relaxed nature of the animals proving that this place is truly special.
Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary in Ezulwini, Swaziland
Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary is Eswatini's oldest protected area, owned and managed by a non-profit trust.
The sanctuary serves as a headquarters for the Big Game Parks including Mlilwane's sister reserves Hlane Royal National Park and Mkhaya Game Reserve. The Sanctuary covers 4,560 hectares in the Ezulwini Valley or Valley of Heaven. Formerly a farming and tin mining area, the area has been rehabilitated and is now Eswatini's most frequently visited reserve. Abundant wildlife grace the plains. The southern section is predominately open grassland plains with middleveld vegetation, stretching up onto Nyonyane Mountain. Tourist activities are concentrated in the southern section which can be explored by foot, horseback, mountain bikes or vehicle. The northern section includes one of the highest points in the area at Luphohlo. Only guided trails enter this part of the sanctuary. Mlilwane means Little Fire, a reference to the many fires started by lightning strikes on Mlilwane Hill.
Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary is Swaziland’s pioneer conservation area, a shining example of what is possible if passion, vision and action fuse. Once a highly profitable multi-purpose farm, and being labeled an “impossible dream”, Mlilwane was proclaimed in 1961 and is now the kingdom’s most popular eco-destination for locals and internationals alike.
The name 'Mlilwane' ('Little Fire' in siSwati) was derived from the numerous fires started by lightning strikes on the Mlilwane Hill but now holds significance as the little fire that ignited the conservation movement in Swaziland.
Mlilwane’s diverse habitats support a surprisingly extensive species list. Endless hours of guided or self-guided exploration within the small 4560 Ha sanctuary are possible due to the relative absence of dangerous game. The southern plains stretch to the striking Nyonyane Mountain (Execution Rock) with its exposed granite peak. Tourism is concentrated in this southern section of the park, while guided Chubeka Trails explore the northern section, as far as Luphohlo Peak.
Mlilwane’s Rest Camp offers a range of affordable accommodation with self-catering and catered options available. Alternatives within Mlilwane include Sondzela Backpackers 2 km to the south, luxurious Reilly's Rock Hilltop Lodge and Down Gran’s Self-Catering Cottage a short 3km to the north of Rest Camp.
All Activities depart from our Activities Centre at Reception, with detailed maps on sale. The Hippo Haunt Restaurant and Swimming pool with summerhouses provide the opportunity for true relaxation. Day Visitors are welcome to self-drive and picnic at Rest Camp, visit the restaurant or take part in activities until 18h00.
Situated between Mbabane and Manzini, with 24-hour access to the Sanctuary, guests are free to enjoy the neighbouring tourist hubs of Ezulwini and Malkerns, with their many unique attractions and craft shops.
Nyonyane Mountain is where ancient San or Bushmen people once lived and where Swazi Royal graves are situated. This gives it great historical significance. Behind these mountains, the stunning Mantenga waterfall and beautiful Usushwana Valley form the divide, before stretching up to northern section, which includes one of the highest surrounding points at Luphohlo. Tourist activities are concentrated in the southern section, with only guided trails entering the pristine mountains of the north.
Mlilwane means Little Fire, being derived from the numerous fires started by lightning strikes on the Mlilwane Hill. Many a colourful tale can be told about the Reilly Family, with special relevance to the early pioneer Mickey Reilly, whose family still manages and lives on the Sanctuary.

In Swaziland You Can Take a Mountain Bike Safari! (Mlilwane Sanctuary)
In Swaziland's Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary you can go on a mountain bike safari to view game such as zebras, warthogs, giraffes, crocodiles, hippos, and various antelope. The Mlilwane Sactuary rents mountain bikes that you can ride around on your own or have a guided tour. Mlilwane is one of the few wildlife parks in Africa that allows you to ride mountain bikes since there are no major preditors here like lions. We thought it was a great adventure to spend a few hours.
