Mbabane is the capital city of Swaziland and has shopping options, restaurants, and vehicle hire outlets. Here you can also find the famous Mbabane Market, where tenants have decorated the walls with bright images. Visitors to the market car buy fresh fruit and vegetables as well as local handcrafts from the friendly locals.
Ramblas Restaurant is a popular spot for the locals and undoubtedly one of the best restaurants in Swaziland. A wide selection of delicious meals, from pizzas to salads and seafood, are available; all complimented by excellent service. An outside play area is available for young children.
One of the most popular tourist spots in Swaziland is the Ngwenya Glass factory, and for good reason. Visitors have the opportunity to witness the process and art of glassblowing from a viewing platform above the factory itself. What makes it extra special is that everything is made from 100% recycled glass. The factory makes a range of different items: drinking glasses, vases, tableware, jugs and African animals. There is also a coffee shop, restaurant, play area for children, boutique shops with locally made products and souvenirs, as well as a small chocolate factory.
A short drive away from Mbabane lies Sibebe Rock. This is the second largest freestanding rock in the world and world’s largest exposed granite pluton. The hike up and down will take 3 to 4 hours and will reward you with incredible views. Along the way you can explore various caves, swimming holes and waterfalls. Enjoy unique plants and animals, many of which are endemic to this region.
