Discover eSwatini with Sipho

Sipho is the man with the plan! This passionate local knows eSwatini like the back of his hand and takes you on an authentic journey filled with culture and traditions. No rigid itinerary, just spontaneity and adventure. With Sipho, you’ll experience eSwatini the way it’s meant to be!

Immerse yourself in local traditions

A tour on a Sunday? In this country, it’s definitely worth it! Start the day by immersing yourself in eSwatini’s vibrant religious scene. Begin your morning in a modern church, where visitors are dressed in pure white. Then, step into a Zionist church, where men sing in circles around candles while women clap rhythmically. Quite different from what you’re used to! This offers a unique glimpse into the spiritual life of eSwatini.

A bit of history and culture

Cultural highlights are an absolute must in your eSwatini itinerary. Visit the royal palace, where Sipho will share fascinating insights into the country’s political history and the significance of the national emblem, which symbolises harmony among eSwatini’s diverse communities. Be sure to also stop by the parliament and the US embassy—the largest building in the country—to learn more about eSwatini’s past and present.

Lets taste!

A trip wouldn’t be complete without delicious food, and in eSwatini, you’re in for a treat. Try the famous “chicken dust” at a roadside stall—named after the dust kicked up by passing cars as your chicken grills—or enjoy a hearty meal at a takeaway spot, where you can choose from various meats, pap or rice, and delicious side dishes. This is Swazi comfort food at its finest!

Discover local craftsmanship

In eSwatini, you’ll find renowned candle-making workshops where talented artisans create the most beautiful handmade pieces. Afterwards, browse the local shops selling these candles and other unique keepsakes. A souvenir to remember this incredible trip is a must!

Discover local rural life

One of the highlights of this trip is a visit to a farm in the countryside. Here, you'll meet a Swazi family and learn about their daily life, traditions, and culture. They’ll share insights into their customs around marriage and coming-of-age, and show you how their beautiful traditional reed mats are woven.

Each "Taste of eSwatini" trip is slightly different, depending on your interests, the vibe of the day, and what Sipho has in mind! Go with the flow and experience eSwatini like a true local!
