The Baz Bus is great way to reach Swaziland… and to tick off another destination on your travels. But once in Swaziland, what then ? swazi.travel has a lot of these answers, including interesting community owned lodges, like Shewula Mountain Camp, that give travellers an opportunity to stay amongst rural village members.
Enjoy!
