I am a British passport holder and would like to know if I require a visa to transit Swaziland from the Kruger National Park (SA) to Durban (SA)? Also I will be accompanied by French passport holders, do they require a visa?
Many Thanks in advance

Topic: Condition of Mlawula Nature Reserve
Last weekend my wife and I had the pleasure of visiting Mlawula Nature Reserve for the second time. Mlawula has to be one of Southern Africa's best Nature Reserves and is truly beautiful, peaceful and a wonderful place to restore body and soul. Unfortunately the tents in the Sara tented camp are in a poor condition, with broken zips, tears and generally a poor state of maintenance. The tent where we stayed last year was in poor shape and has been removed completely this year. Likewise, the toilets in the camp were in poor shape. In addition the chairs in the Lapa were broken to the point that they are no longer comfortable. Apart from that, the staff were extremely helpful and knowledgable regarding the reserve and we are already planning to return. Henk Coetzee Pretoria

I would like to congradulate you guys for continuing to improve your website and i hope it wont end here as we hope to move forward. i understand it takes time to build a database so dont be discouraged you can improve, atleast you have started unlike others who have not yet begun this route. can you add various documents on you links though like the regional development plans which have sections on biophysical environment as well as natural resources frameworks.

Response:
If you have appropriate links and/or documents which would be relevant, please let us know!

Thanks for the visit and the comments.

I am quite impressed with the work on the data base and i hope it is an ongoing project because i am sure we have more biodiversity than what it reflects presently. For those plants which have restricted ranges, and the rare ones, is there any monitoring programme in place. For example, a volunteer group could be set up to do this kind of task as CREW does in South Africa.

The development of the database is an ongoing project, and any contributions towards it would be welcome!

I am amazed of the wealth of information that is on this website, in as much as I agree that there is still a lot of work to be done, but this is commendable. We are seeing a side of Swaziland with regards to nature and its beauty outside what we are known for, "Umhlanga" or "Reed Dance", where I am now those who know about our beautiful country will tell you largely about the ceremony. Its a good start.

There simply isn`t enough material published over Swaziland. What a shame!

Perhaps this is something you should be addressing nationally/ globally; trying to promote an active interest in Swaziland`s cultural heritage.

Do bare in mind that there are several well educated and well informed history (or other) teachers in Swaziland, who would be valuable in providing accurate information. Also, there are enough financial rewards globally for Good Quality information.

To date, Swaziland is performing very badly at every single level; Educationally, politically + economically, and even culturally. So I applaud you for your efforts, but it simply just isn`t enough. There`s so much more needed.....

Thanks for your feedback. We will endeavour to continue to update and expand the information available on this website.
