The Kingdom of Eswatini: Our First African Experience (4K)
Embark on an exciting journey with me as I explore Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland) for the first time, showcasing the country's astonishing natural beauty, vibrant cities, and authentic cultural experiences.
Our adventure begins at Shonalanga Lodge in Dombeya Game game reserve, where giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, antelopes, and warthogs freely roam. Experience life up close with nature, as we wake up to the sight of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.
We then venture into the nearby city of Manzini, getting a glimpse of the city's vibrant lifestyle and the offerings of a typical supermarket. I take you through the bustling streets, giving you an authentic peek into the daily life in Eswatini's urban centres.
Accompanied by our knowledgeable guide Lunga from Nolu Tours, we traverse the markets in Mbabane, Eswatini's capital. We dive deep into the heart of Eswatini's culture as we explore the country's top attraction - the local cultural village.
Our Eswatini journey is enriched by a day spent with Phumie Mamba, the son of a local clan leader. We explore the Mamba Kingdom and gain an understanding of rural life and politics in Eswatini.
Next, we're on a self-drive tour to discover some of the country's hidden gems. A visit to the Hlane Royal National Park reveals an impressive collection of wildlife - white rhinos, wild lions, elephants, and more.
Finally, we cross the border into South Africa for an excursion to Kruger National Park, a journey that adds to the richness of our Sub-Saharan experience.
This video is a blend of a vlog and a documentary, featuring my first-hand accounts, interviews with local guides, and some breathtaking footage of a country very few people know much about.
Whether you're an armchair tourist, seeking travel inspiration, or considering a visit to Eswatini, join me as we discover some of what the beautiful nation of Eswatini offers travellers.

Discover Lesotho the Mountain Kingdom of Africa | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Lesotho is a small landlocked country nestled between the Drakensberg and Maloti mountain ranges and it is completely surrounded by South Africa. Officially a Kingdom, previously known as Basutoland, and a place that we left with the regret of not staying for longer.
Green valleys, sharp mountains, rivers, nature reserves and several national parks make Lesotho a natural wonder worth exploring by any traveler. We were surprised to learn that this country is one of the 3 remaining Kingdoms in Africa (the others being Morocco and Swaziland) even though it declared independence from the United Kingdom on 4 October 1966.
The name Lesotho stands for “mountain kingdom” and that’s not a surprise as nearly ⅔ of the country consists of mountains. This country is also the proud owner of the highest low point in the world which is estimated at 1,400 meters above sea level.
Enjoy the video!

Botswana - Where Animals Roam Free! | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Botswana is a landlocked country located in the south of Africa. For the most part, Botswana is flat with a few hills and around 70% of its land surface is covered with the Kalahari desert.
This country’s history starts more than 100,000 years ago, when the first people populated the region. However, in the past few centuries foreigners controlled it and independence was only secured in 1966. Prior to declaring independence Botswana was known as the British protectorate of Bechuanaland.
One year after they declared independence a huge area of diamonds was discovered at Orapa. Since then Botswana became one of the world’s largest diamond producers and it earns around one billion dollars a year from diamond mining. The official language of the country is English but almost all people speak Setswana and accept the culture.

A plane flight costs $345 roundtrip from Cape Town to JHB to eSwatini
It takes about 3 hours. I'm not sponsored by any of these websites since I'm a small youtuber. is a great place to book

Here is the timetable for vans going from South Africa to Eswatini
Single entry visa costs about E80 ($4.65) depending on the swazi embassy in your country
These guys have more information:

They have this van that goes around manzini. There's no timetable, they usually go when the van is full. If not, they wait. While you wait, there’s children that sell burned corn for E10, depending on the child
Once the van takes you to downtown manzini, you should try the KFC, they eat it with pap. In downtown Manzini they also have Nandos and other South African food chains. If you get the chance you should try Karoo roast national dish
Afterwards you should visit Manzini Market where you can buy traditional swazi blankets and get souvenir. The locals will like you.

King of Swaziland Lifestyle ???? 100 children & 15 wife
6 de septiembre 2022 Dia de la fiesta nacional Suazilandia, o Eswatini, era Reino de Swazilandia
Suazilandia, Esuatini o Eswatini, cuyo nombre oficial era Reino de Swazilandia y ahora es Reino de Eswatini (en suazi, Umbuso weSwatini; en inglés desde 2018, Kingdom of Eswatini, anteriormente llamado Kingdom of Swaziland), es un pequeño Estado soberano sin salida al mar situado en África Austral o del Sur, en las estribaciones orientales de los montes Drakensberg, entre Sudáfrica y Mozambique. Su territorio está organizado en cuatro distritos. Su capital está formada por dos ciudades: Mbabane, sede administrativa, y Lobamba, sede del poder real y legislativo. La ciudad más poblada es Manzini. Tiene una superficie de 17.364 km².
La población está conformada principalmente por la etnia suazi, y el idioma predominante es el siswati o suazi. Los suazis establecieron su reino a mediados del siglo XVIII bajo el liderazgo de Ngwane III. El país y la etnia toman sus nombres de Mswati II, un rey del siglo XIX cuyo mandato expandió y unificó el territorio suazi; los límites actuales se trazaron en 1881 durante el reparto de África. Después de la segunda guerra bóer, el reino se convirtió en un protectorado británico desde 1903 hasta su independencia el 6 de septiembre de 1968. En abril de 2018, su nombre oficial cambió de Reino de Suazilandia a Reino de Eswatini, que refleja el nombre usado comúnmente en siswati.1819
El gobierno es una monarquía absoluta, la última de su tipo en el continente, dirigida por el rey Mswati III desde 1986.
En medio de los desafíos económicos de eSwatini (antigua Suazilandia), el rey Mswati III decidió «bendecir» a sus 14 esposas automóviles por valor de 15 millones de euros. El monarca recibió el jueves parte de la flota de BMW y Rolls-Royces « para uso exclusivo de la familia real », lo que provocó la indignación de los suazis.
El Rey Mswati III, conocido como «El León», ha importado de Sudáfrica 19 Rolls-Royces y decenas de BMW (la cantidad podría llegar hasta los 120 coches), según los informes. Se trataría de modelos BMW X% y %-Series, algunos de los cuales cuesta alrededor de 30.000 libras. El trabajador eSwatini tendría que trabajar de promedio 70 años para poder pagar uno Rolls-Royce .
Tan solo unas horas después de que los trabajadores públicos salieran a las calles exigiendo aumentos salariales, el rey Mswati III fue criticado por «malcriar» a su familia, concretamente a sus 14 esposas, con una flota de coches de lujo. Los trabajadores y algunos líderes políticos le acusan de agotar las arcas públicas y de despreciar a los más necesitados. «En Suazilandia, los trabajadores del sector público no han recibido ajustes salariales en tres años y el sistema de salud se ha derrumbado por completo, lo que hace que los más pobres sean los más vulnerables», dijo en un comunicado el secretario general del Movimiento Popular Democrático Unido (Pudemo), Wandile Dludlu . Según Dludlu, con esta compra el rey muestra su «flagrante arrogancia y total desprecio por los pobres» y le acusa de «reírse de ellos» . « Condenamos enérgicamente este saqueo descarado del dinero de los más oprimidos del país », dijo el líder de la oposición, quien pidió a los suazis que «se pongan de pie y se enfrenten a este régimen que continúa manteniéndonos en cautiverio».
Fuentes de Palacio han confirmado la compra de los Rolls Royce, aunque niegan que se haya llevado a cabo con dinero público .
Última Monarquía absoluta de África
El monarca tiene 14 esposas (después de que una de ellas falleciera supuestamente por culpa de un cáncer), más de 25 niños y una reputación de «rey avaricioso, extravagante y déspota ». Actualmente es el único monarca absoluto en el continente africano y uno de los pocos que quedan en el mundo. En el trono desde 1986 tras heredar el poder de su padre , tiene una fortuna personal de unos 80 millones de euros, según estima Forbes. Entre las polémicas compras del rey Mswati III se encuentra un jet de lujo y habitualmente lo usa para viajas a Las Vegas con algunas de sus esposas.
El año pasado, para celebrar los 50 años de la independencia de Gran Bretaña y coincidiendo también con su 50 cumpleaños, Mswati III decidió rebautizar el país como Reino de eSwatini. El país que hace frontera con Sudáfrica y Mozambique ocupó el puesto 144 de 189 en el último Índice de Desarrollo Humano de la ONU. Alrededor de dos tercios de los 1,4 millones de habitantes del país viven por debajo del umbral de pobreza .
