A virtual guide to Swaziland, the small landlocked kingdom in southern Africa is bordered by South Africa and Mozambique.
The country covers an area of 17,364 km², it is one of Africa’s smallest countries, slightly larger than half the size of Belgium, or slightly smaller than the U.S. state of New Jersey.
The country is known for its game reserves, the Mlawula Nature Reserve, and the Hlane Royal National Park with diverse wildlife including lions, hippos, and elephants.
Swaziland has a population of 1.4 million people (est. 2015), national capitals are Mbabane and Lobamba.
Autonomy for the Swazis of southern Africa was guaranteed by the British in the late 19th century; independence was granted 1968.
Student and labor unrest during the 1990s have pressured the monarchy (one of the oldest on the continent) to grudgingly allow political reform and greater democracy. Nationsonline.org
