Mlilvane Nature Park
Description:
Mlilvane Nature Park is located near the capital Mbabane, on the border of High and Middle Velda around the picturesque jagged peak of Nyonyane. It is home to a fairly large population of hippos, as well as a wide variety of crocodiles, zebras and giraffes.
The park is home to more than 200 species of birds, including the magnificent purple lori, the national emblem of Swaziland.
In the southern part of the park is the granite Mount Newonene, known as the “rock of executions”. There are many cave paintings in the mountains. Nearby is the famous Manteng waterfall.
On the Great Usugu River, rafting, climbing and horseback riding are very developed.
