The Ezulwini Valley is one of Eswatini’s most important tourism hubs, combining nature, culture and royal history in a lush landscape between Mbabane and Manzini. The region is known for the Mantenga Falls, the traditional Swazi village in Mantenga Nature Reserve, the glassblowing workshops of Ngwenya Glass and the historic attractions of Lobamba. The Eswatini National Museum and King Sobhuza II Memorial Park offer insights into the country’s history and monarchy.
