The Hlane Royal National Park is the largest in the country with an area of 22000 hectares and here you can find four members of the Big Five (elephant, leopard, lion, rhino). Swaziland is known for its good ability to see rhinos (especially Mkhaya Game Reserve). In most reserves you can search for wild animals by 4×4 or on foot with experienced guides. The Mlilwane Game Reserve also offers the possibility for safaris on horseback. Prefer to walk in nature yourself? Then choose the Mbuluzi Game Reserve with many hiking trails. For bird lovers, Swaziland is truly a fantastic place since there are around 500 different species. In the spring and summer, the Malolotja nature reserve is the place to be with beautiful flowers and plants in bloom. You will find aloes and orchids here.
