Day 1

Arrival

Arrival

After leaving Hazyview in the morning, we make our way to the nearest border crossing - a trip of about 90 minutes. The border formalities are simple, and the afternoon after check-in is free for optional activities, as time permits. We arrive at Silverstone Lodge, which presents a charming blend of tradition and elegance awaiting guests in the magnificent surroundings of Pine Valley - Eswatini. Silverstone Lodge offers fully appointed en-suite bedrooms, which are spacious and designed with your comfort in mind. Each room has a private balcony/outdoor area overlooking the magnificent river/waterfall.

In the afternoon, we have time for optional activities in the area. The lodge features an à la carte restaurant, where you can have dinner. Alternatively, your driver can take you to one of the nearby restaurants, or you can walk, as the area is very safe.
