Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary

Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary is one of Swaziland's original conservation areas and its most popular wildlife reserve, located in the beautiful Ezulwini Valley. It was founded by Ted and Elizabeth Reilly, who converted their Mlilwane farm into a game reserve with King Sobhuza II's help. The Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, a non-profit organization, has expanded to 4,560 hectares of wilderness surrounded by the Nyonyane ("Place of the Little Bird") Mountains.

The Mlilwane Sanctuary is home to over 400 kinds of birds and many animals, including zebras, vervet monkeys, crocodiles, warthogs, caracals, hippos, and antelopes, which were originally imported to the reserve from afar.

There are numerous activities available at the sanctuary. Game drives, nature hikes, mountain biking, horseback riding, a village culture experience, and swimming in the rest camp's pool are all on the itinerary. Self-contained cottages, traditional Swazi-style beehive huts, and a luxurious hilltop lodge serve to campers and backpackers as well as those seeking a little more comfort.
