Lovely day trip from Maputo - This was a lovely day trip, plus another country to add on to your list. We were picked up from our hotel promptly. The drive was smooth and easy. Our guide was excellent. Patient and very informative. We had a lovely lunch in a very special place. So serene and beautiful. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the place. Enjoyed our time shopping for candles at the Swazi candle factory. Beautiful hand made candles.

Mantenga Cultural Village, Eswatini - a must see! - I went to Eswatini with guide Nelson, who knows the history and culture of this small kingdom that preserves many traditions of the Swazi people. The landscapes are lush and nature (animals) invaded the track several times. At Aldeia Cultural Mantenga, the skill of the dancers, as well as the fluency of the local guide, filled eyes and ears. From there we went to Malkerns, where beautiful candles and other souvenirs are manufactured. We took the opportunity to have lunch next door, at the Malandelas Restaurant and Lodge, a very picturesque place! I highly recommend this tour!

A captivating cultural tour - Mario’s expertise, respect for local cultures, and ability to connect with people make him a true gem in the guiding community. I recommend Mario to anyone looking to delve deep into the cultural heart of the region. He doesn’t just show you the sights; he helps you experience and understand the soul of the place.

Edwatini and Kruger Park - Simba is the best guide you can dream of. He has a great knowledge of the fauna and flora and is an excellent driver who knows the best spots to stop to enjoy the animals and the landscape. We warmly recommend
