Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) is almost completely surrounded by South Africa. Most people visit Hlane Royal National Park as part of a larger tour of South Africa.
People visiting Hlane typically fly into O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), near Johannesburg, as their entry point into the region.
If you’re on a self-drive tour of South Africa and Eswatini, you will probably get your rental car in Johannesburg. The distance from Johannesburg to Hlane is about 450km/280mi, and the driving time is about 5 hours*.
You could also fly from Johannesburg to King Mswati III International Airport (SHO) in Manzini, hire a car here and drive to Hlane. The distance is about 70km/45mi and the drive takes about 1 hour*.
*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.
