Mantenga Reserve

Mantenga Environment Reserve, located in the gorgeous Ezulwini Valley, provides a pleasant experience of Swazi nature and culture. The Mantenga Cultural Village, a reproduction of Swazi life in the 1850s, is located within this small 725-hectare reserve. Visitors can go on guided tours to learn about Swazi culture and customs, participate in activities like plaiting mountain grass and grinding grains, and watch outstanding traditional song and dance performances.

The magnificent Mantenga Falls, Swaziland's most famous falls with the largest volume of water, are a highlight of the reserve. Baboons, vervet monkeys, bush babies, porcupines, rock hyraxes, servals, leopards, and different types of antelope, as well as a variety of birds, are all protected in the reserve. The reserve can be explored on foot, in their own cars, or by mountain bike. Day visitors are welcome, and overnight guests can lodge at the Mantenga Lodge on the reserve's grounds.
