Swaziland, one of the two independent countries embedded within South Africa, is very laid back, and a nice treat after the intense experience at Kruger National Park. I visited the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, and stayed inside the sanctuary at Sondzela Backpackers Lodge. There are none of the "Big Five" at Mlilwane, and so one can walk the trails in complete safety observing the abundant wildlife. The highest point in Swaziland is a nice four hour round trip hike. The entire experience was so pleasureable that many of the guests, myself included, found themselves extending their stay.
