Swaziland is a country that is not talked about much in the world today.  As with Lesotho, this country is entirely surrounded by South Africa.  Like every other African Nation, the people here are always friendly and ready to lend a helping hand.  Along with Brunei, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Vatican City, this country is holding one of the last Absolute Monarchies in the world, which was a common theme across the world hundreds of years ago.

The land adorned by hills and green mountains dot the beautifully sunny skies.  Driving down the road the people would yell and scream at us driving by.  The waving of the hands of gestures made me realize we have entered another friendly African Culture. 

We had to opportunity to stay in Milwane Wildlife Preserve, which has some amazing scenery as well as many game animals, including Blue Wildabeest, Crocodiles, Warthogs, Zebra, and many species of birds and Antelope.  The nature walk was amazing to go around and see the natural beauty of this untouched land and how Swaziland is trying to preserve all of the animals found within its borders.  It is not uncommon to have animals walk right through your campsite while you are eating or next to your accommodation while you are sleeping.  Very beautiful place just like the whole country!!!
