When you book flights to Swaziland, you’ll be landing in the smallest country in Africa, but it’s got the most heart. Swaziland is landlocked in Africa, bordered by Mozambique and South Africa and is divided into four different regions: Hhohho, Lubombo, Manzini and Shiselweni, also known as the high, middle, and low, and the Lubombo Plateau. Despite its small size, this country boasts brilliant landscapes. 

On the flight to Swaziland, travelers get an aerial view of mountains, rainforests and deserts. After the Swaziland flight, the country is best seen on foot. The Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary draws in tourists for a view of some of best animals in Africa. Many tourists book flights to Swaziland during the annual ceremony of the reed dances at the Royal Kraal, or for a walk through one of Swaziland’s street markets to purchase some of the country’s famous arts and crafts. 

If there is one thing enticint visitors to book more Swaziland flights every year it’s the people. A welcoming bunch who love a good celebration, the Swazis always make travelers feel at home.

Eswatini climate

The climate in Swaziland varies with the country’s altitude. The western mountains are wet, humid and often see severe thunderstorms. The country’s middle and lowlands are drier and the east is more tropical. The rainy season lasts from October to May.

Best Time to Fly to Eswatini

Whether your stay in Swaziland is just a stopover between the more bustling destinations of Mozambique and South Africa or you’re looking for a relaxing retreat visiting one of the exceptional wildlife reserves, there’s no wrong time to book your flight to Swaziland.

Peak Season: Swaziland flights are packed during June through September, when the weather is at its best and the dry season lets the sun warm the country.

Off-peak Season: The rainy season, stretching from October until the end of May, is the best time to find a cheap flight to Swaziland. Luckily, Swaziland hosts a slew of cultural activities in the inclement weather to keep visitors from shying away from rainy season: Swazi XTreme, Africa’s largest adventure race, takes place each April, and Swaziland is hosting its first annual Fashion Week in December of 2008.

Getting around Eswatini

Flights to Swaziland aren’t the only ways available to enter the country: If you’re traveling to Swaziland from other points in Africa, chances are there are coaches and taxis that’ll transport you across the Mozambique and South African borders easily.  In Mbabane, taxis are the most efficient mode of transport and the best way of getting to the city from the airport after your Swaziland flight lands.The following chart gives approximate journey times from Mbabane (in hours and minutes) to other major cities and towns in Swaziland.

Eswatini Travel Information

  • As one of few remaining African monarchies, Swaziland embraces its royal family and fondly remembers King Sobhuza II, the world’s longest reigning monarch who is said to have fathered 500 children as king.  Those who’ve booked their flight to Swaziland during the month of August may be in town to see the Umhlanga in the Ezulwini Valley, which is the traditional reed dance performed by young maidens hoping to be chosen as the latest bride of King Mswati III.  
  • The Swazi Cultural Village of Mantenga should be one of your first stops after your flight to Swaziland touches down. The village, also known as Ligugu Lemaswati, which means “the pride of the Swazi people”, is a living museum that celebrates the most beloved of Swazi traditions. To the beat of handmade drums, men and women perform the Sibhaca, a traditional Swazi dance, and after the performance you can roam freely amid the huts to view the arts and crafts on display.     
  • Looking to get a royal fix after your Swaziland flight?  Head to Lobamba in the Ezulwini Valley, just outside of Mbabane and site of the Ludzidzini Royal Residence, which is where the Swazi royal family lives.  For those looking to get their history fix the House of Parliament is also here, as well as the National Museum, which showcases Swazi art, crafts and culture.
  • Animal lovers and outdoorsy types are booking flights to Swaziland for trips to Hlane Royal National Park, the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Mkhaya Game Reserve.  Hlane, located in Eastern Swaziland, is the largest protected area in the country and home to herds of lions, which are a special point of pride for the Swazi people. The lion is a symbol of royalty and pride, especially for the Royal Family.  The Milwane Wildlife Sanctuary, located in the Ezulwini Valley, is Swaziland’s oldest protected area and is the country’s most frequently visited wildlife reserve.  Milwane’s sister park, the Mkhaya Game Reserve, is where one can visit black and white rhinoceros, elephants and other endangered species in southeastern Swaziland. 
  • How long is the flight to Swaziland?

    If you’re looking for Swaziland flight deals, you’ll be flying into the King Mswati III International Airport (SHO), also known as Manzini. Flights to Swaziland from the US usually take over 24h. If you’re leaving from Chicago O’Hare International Airport, you can expect a flight time of just over 35h with a couple of layovers. If you’re departing from New York, usually from John F. Kennedy International Airport or Newark, your flight time will include a few layovers as well. These options will usually take anywhere from 30h to 45h.

  • Where can you get direct flights to Swaziland from?

    Direct flights from the United States to Swaziland are not available at this time. However, if you fly out of Chicago O’Hare International Airport, you can expect two layovers, usually in Frankfurt, Doha, or Johannesburg. If you depart from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), you can expect two or three layovers, usually in Frankfurt, Doha, London, and Johannesburg. If you’re leaving from the east coast from somewhere like New York or Washington D.C., you can also expect two or three layovers, typically in Doha and Johannesburg. If you’re looking for cheap flights to Swaziland, you’ll find good Swaziland flight deals typically from Chicago or New York.

  • What is the best way to travel around Swaziland?

    Once you arrive in Swaziland, the only public transport options available are buses or Kombis, which are essentially taxis. However, because the buses are unreliable, it is usually recommended to rent a car to travel from place to place. Swaziland is a small country, and it won’t take you more than a few hours to get to the opposite side of the country. Driving from Mbabane, one of Swaziland’s largest cities in the west, to Big Bend in the east takes a little less than 2h. Driving from Manzini in central Swaziland to Piggs Peak in the north takes a little less than 1h 30min. Renting a car will be a safe, easy, and flexible option for you to get around the country during your trip.

  • What are some things to do in Swaziland?

    Swaziland may be a small country, but there’s tons to do here. You’ll want to check out the urban centers of Manzini and Big Bend to get a feel for the cultural heritage of Swaziland. Once you’re done exploring the cities, you’ll want to head to the great outdoors. Check out Mbuluzi Game Reserve for some incredible scenery and hiking. You may also want to Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary to peek at some of the native species of this region. Finally, check out Phophonyane Falls Nature Reserve near Piggs Peak to see some amazing waterfalls, some of the oldest rocks in the world, and great hiking.

  • Do I need a passport or visa to fly to Swaziland?

    Citizens of the United States do not need a visa to enter Swaziland if you are staying for less than 60 days - all you’ll need in this case is your valid US passport.
