Swaziland Travel Guide

Swaziland is almost completely surrounded by South Africa. Most people visiting Swaziland are on a larger tour of South Africa. In fact, Swaziland is perfectly located between Kruger National Park and the parks in KwaZulu Natal in South Africa. Border crossings are straightforward.

Therefore, most people visiting Swaziland fly into O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) near Johannesburg to start their South Africa-Swaziland tour.

Self-drive is a popular option but in most other cases, your local tour operator will arrange pick-up from the airport and further transportation as part of your tour package.

If you want to visit just Swaziland, you could fly from Johannesburg to King Mswati III International Airport (SHO) in Manzini, and hire a car here as well.
