Swaziland Travel and Destination Guide
PRE-DEPARTURE INFO
When to Go
The best time to visit is between May and June or in October, especially if you want to avoid those days when you could fry eggs on a tin hat. You'll get cooler temperatures (downright cold at night) in the eastern lowlands and warmer, drier weather in the highlands. If you want to see the two most important Swazi cultural ceremonies, go in August or September for the Umhlanga (Reed) Dance, or in late December or early January for the Incwala (the 'first fruits') ceremony. But bear in mind that Swaziland is rain-soaked between December and April.
Visas Overview
Most people don't require a visa, apart from some nationalities of the European Union who can get them free at the airport. Vaccination certificates are required if you have recently been in a yellow fever area.
